Description

Indescribable tunes from the wood of Duluth. From swampy Blues to high energy drum sets - Ryan and Jesse rock! Based out of Duluth, MN, The Brothers Burn Mountain are a soulful, energetic, eclectic duo of real-life brothers, Ryan and Jesse Dermody. They've been playing music together every day as a duo for more than 20 years. They've released 10 full-length albums of original music, and have toured across the country over the years, though especially in the Midwest, having played more than 1,850 live shows. Their sound is a roiling melting pot of so many musical influences, that it's hard to describe, except as energetic and eclectic; with afro-Cuban rhythms, Zappa-esque spontaneity, grittiness, bluesyness, tenderness, and a singer-songwriter, folky flair. The best way to support any band right now is to show up at a gig, buy a ticket (all proceeds go to the artist) and maybe some merch. Admission is limited to 60 people, to give us all a bit of space. $10 admission can be purchased here or come to The Hotel during opening hours to pay for admission and guarantee your spot. If tickets are not sold out, you’ll be able to pay $10 to enjoy the show on the day. ANY MONEY collected for admission, goes to the performers who are still struggling financially with the events surrounding COVID. The Brothers have built their own off-the-grid studio! Built from all recycled materials, Diarmada Studios is nestled in the deep woods. The Brothers released a new album, The Dark Exchange, in early September, 2020. The Dark Exchange is a collaboration with Alan Sparhawk of Low, and several other musicians, such as Rich Mattson and Germaine Gemberling of Rich Mattson and The Northstars. “(Blue Spruce is) uplifting and transcendent, a bliss-out. It's like something from another time altogether...” -The Duluth Reader “The Brothers Burn Mountain sound like Honeyboy Edwards, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Page and Jack White thrown into a high-speed blender that elicits a blues-based brew that explodes like a nail-filled pipe bomb.” -John Ziegler, The Duluth News Tribune “The new songs (on When You Crave a Sweetness) sound wonderful.” -Robert Bly, Minnesota's first poet laureate, winner of the National Book Award, and close friend of Tomas Transtromer, the Swedish poet who won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature. “This new vinyl ('A Thread Through the Night') is just amazing!!” -Rich Mattson, renowned musician and producer at Sparta Sound Studios in Sparta, MN “Great album!” -KAXE 91.7fm Northern Community Radio. “The Brothers Burn Mountain lay down a driving, psychedelic, and very personal take on the blues. It's all original music with a roiling mix of influences...from South American rhythms to freewheeling jazz to Howlin' Wolf staring down midnight to Frank Zappa's guitar explorations.” -Jeffrey Jones, program director/music director Park Theater & WOJB-fm 88.9, Hayward WI The Duluth Reader recently put The Brothers on their shortlist of bands 'to keep an eye out for' in their Annual Manual.
