The Bros. Landreth played Mercury Lounge in NYC on January 30th in support of their debut album, Let It Lie, which was released January 27th on Slate Creek Records. The band, anchored by brothers Joey and David Landreth, with Ariel Posen and Ryan Voth, may be from the great white north, but they play an amalgam of roots, southern rock and blues like they were raised in the deep south. The majority of their songs, including the title track, have a quiet, almost gentle quality to them; songs that require one to listen attentively, which the respectful crowd was more than willing to do. They also know how to turn up the tempo with more rocking numbers, like the twangy "Angelina," keeping the audience dancing and swaying. Their forty five minute set was full of songs with purpose, delivered by warm vocals, harmonies and skilled musicianship. 

Bros. Landreth are must see for anyone who appreciates quality music. Be sure to check them out when they are in your town.
