Earl Brothers tour Ireland & Scotland, Sept.-Oct.

Thanks to Darach McGrath for the news that the Earl Brothers from San Francisco (no relation to Uncle Earl) - a four-piece band who list the Stanley Brothers and the Ramones among their influences, and have made a name for themselves with their use of the old single-mike technique - are scheduled to tour in Ireland and Scotland between 26 September and 14 October 2007. The tour is being handled by the UK agency Brookfield Knights. Further details as soon as they become available.

The band, consisting of Bobby Earl Davis (banjo, vocals), John McKelvy (guitar, vocals), Larry Hughes (mandolin), and Rob Mellberg (bass), also have a MySpace site.
