DePue Brothers Band

 |
Family 6-Piece Band |
|
For those not familiar with this musical iconic family bred in Bowling
Green, Ohio, one is in for an ear-bending revelation. These four
violinist brothers encompass a vivid blend of bluegrass, classical, and
rock genres. DePue Brothers are a musical powerhouse. Each brother is a
classical virtuoso in his own right, and brings rich and diverse talents
to their sound. As a family, they have been making music together for
over 25 years. They were named “Musical Family of America” in 1989 by
presidential decree, were the subject of a nationally televised PBS
documentary in 1993, and two brothers (Jason and Zach) were featured in
the documentary film “Music From the Inside Out,” in 2005.
Their first
album as brothers, Classical Grass, sold out of its first printing. From
Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry, the DePue Brothers have been
performing all over the world. Coming together with Tony Trischka, Mark
Cosgrove, Don Liuzzi and co-producer, Rodney Whittenberg, the band began
performing and recording in 2004. Weapons of Grass Construction, with
its progressive mix of genres, gives a direct nod to their classical
training, while adding a deeper infusion of rock and blues.
