We love music. We love making music. We didn’t think it was feasible to play music for a living, though, because literally everyone told us it wasn’t. After college, these brothers were on a fast train going nowhere. We’d wake up at 3am to meet a 5am call time and proceed to do back breaking hard labor until 10pm the following night. Ah, the distinction of working in the film production industry. We were looking for any possible way out.
While we were involved in film, TV and commercial production, we were putting out Craigslist ads to get a band together. Many people would use Craigslist merely to find other people to jam with, but we were more determined. We got a four-piece band together and started picking up gigs immediately. The only problem was, we weren’t making shit.
It was at this point, that we noticed acoustic duos and solo acts performing all over the local circuit. We thought to ourselves, “Hey, that’s fewer guys that need to be paid!” We hit every local open mic and started to get in front of a lot more people. These spots gave us a lot of our first jobs. We took our duo anywhere and everywhere that would have us; from concert venues to theaters, from bars to retirement communities, from corporate events to private parties. Once we reached more ears and started to get better offers, we began to perform at more distinguished venues and events. We were doing what we loved and what we were best at. And we never looked back.
