The Brothers Comatose, with special guests The Easy Leaves
Cover: Doors: 8 pm, tickets $8 (plus s/c) in advance at brownpapertickets.com, $10 at the door
Their fans keep time with chopsticks, bounce around an inflated alligator, and shout the words to 'The Scout'. The band shimmies to the stage floor in rhythm, brings out a friend to sing 'White Rabbit', and generally creates joyous mayhem. The Brothers Comatose, from San Francisco, are tearing up the West and moving out nationally in rapid style.
Ben and Alex Morrison, guitar and banjo, and lead vocalists, front this rocking string band that has become a West coast headliner and national touring act in a mere five years. With stellar accompanists Phil Brezina on fiddle, Ryan Avellone on mandolin and founding member Gio Benedetti on upright bass and harmony vocal, their high energy, audience engaging shows have caught fire with a quickly growing fan base.
The band's 2015 calendar has included DelFest, High Sierra, Bottlerock, Pickathon, ROMP, the debut of their festival, Comatopia as well as multiple national tours with headlining dates in San Diego, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix and San Francisco.
See The Brothers Comatose, and you might go home singing 'Pie For Breakfast'.

The Easy Leaves are very top of the Country heap in San Francisco, headlining and filling big rooms (Great American Music Hall, The Independent, Mystic Theatre), main stage set at last year's Outside Lands Festival (Willie Nelson told them 'We should play together again'!), CMT premieres their videos ... But more to the point, they write, record, and perform incredible songs. Songs that are meticulously crafted, and have great capabilities of (just plain) moving people. Under the guidance of Merle Haggard's music, and countless other important poets, The Easy Leaves have written their own great collection of poetry for the common man.
The 78 Project, a documentary by Spike Lee's music supervisor currently on the festival circuit, recreating Alan Lomax's journey to capture important American Folk music on its home porches found, recorded, The Easy Leaves for their film (alongside Rosanne Cash, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Loudon Wainwright III, Justin Townes Earl, Richard Thompson, John Doe of X, and other great talents). NPR, Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times have featured it, and The Smithsonian, Library of Congress, and the Alan Lomax estate are active advisors.
The Easy Leaves have been hired as sole support on shows and runs by Dwight Yoakam, Ry Cooder & Ricky Skaggs, Junior Brown, Robert Earl Keen, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Asleep At The Wheel, Kasey Chambers, Blind Boys of Alabama, Jim Lauderdale, Los Lobos, Langhorne Slim, and Lake Street Dive. The Easy Leaves are fantastic live! Finally, they're grounded (Sonoma County farm boys), low key, classy, charismatic, and professional aka They're a joy to have over to your place.
