The Bakery Brothers

A pair of brothers, two voices, many strings.

The Bakery Brothers have covered quite a few miles over the course of their musical career.

As recipients of the IBMA's "International Band Performance Grant", they joined the bluegrass quartet Johnny & the Yooahoos for a five-week US tour, taking the stage at venues like the "Grand Ole Opry" and the "Greyfox Bluegrass Festival". They also toured as part of the rock & roll band Midge's Pocket, playing major German hippie festivals such as the "Burg Herzberg Festival" and appearing on the BR late-night show "Ringlstetter".

Yet brothers Johnny and Basti keep returning to the intimacy of the acoustic duo and the wide-open spaces of American music - folk, old-time, country, bluegrass, and the occasional dash of rock & roll. Armed with two-part harmonies and a broad selection of stringed instruments, The Bakery Brothers remind their audiences how timeless centuries-old stories can be, how unvarnished the present is, and how much the future has to offer.

By the way, as of this year we go by "The Bakery Brothers".
