| Busby Brothers | Genre: Pop, Soul, Funk, Jazz |
 A distinctive ensemble with a captivating interpretation to modern and retro classics.
If you want live music but don`t want the noise of a full band then these guys are for you. Their diverse repertoire & unique approach allows them to shift between bluegrass of to double-edged bossa love songs & rat pack jazz. Add some bouncy Kingston fever and you`re on your way. The Busby Brothers bring you their own versions of hits from Bill Withers. Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, Allison Krauss, Tom Jobim & Toots Hibert. Add some Ray Charles, Jamie Cullum & Nina Simone for good measure. |
