Brothers Trouble Nashville
April 3rd, 2010 | 
Author: There’s a pretty well-developed music scene in Nashville, as is pretty well known in most corners of the earth. The mainstay here is country, where the acts that came through here, from here, and recording here, helped to define the sound in its early days, as well as in each subsequent wave. These days, it’s still just as exciting as it ever was, and sometimes seems to be even better, because the competition is a lot higher than it used to be.
In some ways it’s easier for young musicians these days. There are plenty of new software tools to make recording music possible on a very small budget, and with the internet it’s easier to get the songs out there. However, because it’s easier to get access to the tools, it’s much harder to get attention, with so many groups playing as loud and hard as the previous generation. This time around there’s more business savvy, too, and all of these things go into the equation. However, it’s still a game that’s won by those who can deliver talent and skill with heart. Heart is what happens in live performance, and it really can’t be faked.
It’s still he early years for Brother Trouble the duo who moved here in 2002. They’ve had some remarkable successes, and are still local enough that it’s possible to hear them play in small spaces at times. It shouldn’t be too long, however, before all the nice hotels are booked when they’re in town, but for now it’s nice to come and visit Nashville while they’re still playing intimate spaces. Brother Trouble do play large houses, too, and have shared the billing with some big country acts, and play steadily in places like Las Vegas , but there are plenty of local shows the are worth the time, and definitely worth the trouble.
This music is contemporary country with a very strong pulse that comes from rock. It’s smart and fun, and it moves the crowds in all the right directions at just the right time. But there’s also a very strong traditional strain in this, speaking to a heartbeat that is as real as it gets.
