About The Brothers Comatose:
The Brothers Comatose are a roots-infused bluegrass band known for their infectious blend of Americana, folk, and traditional bluegrass. Based in San Francisco, California, the band has developed a reputation for their high-energy performances, heartfelt songwriting, and impressive musicianship. Founded in 2009 by brothers Ben and Alex Morrison, the group features a revolving lineup of talented musicians, but the core of their sound is defined by tight harmonies, virtuosic string instrumentation, and a foot-stomping, back-porch spirit. In 2024, the band welcomed multi-instrumentalist Addie Levy into the fold, adding a new layer of depth and dynamic to their sound. As a talented fiddle player and vocalist, Levy’s contribution brought a fresh energy and a new dimension to the band’s harmonies, seamlessly blending with the Morrison brothers’ voices while enhancing their already distinctive bluegrass stylings. Her presence not only broadened the band’s musical range but also enriched their live performances, creating an even more compelling and cohesive sound.
The Brothers Comatose’s sound draws from a variety of influences, including old-time bluegrass, country, and rock, but they make it uniquely their own with a modern twist and a strong emphasis on storytelling. Their songs often delve into themes of love, loss, adventure, and the human experience, all while maintaining an upbeat, rollicking energy that keeps fans coming back for more.a
About Tuxedo:
“The only time you wear a Tuxedo is when it’s time to party.”
So said legendary West Coast player Snoop Dogg on the opening track of the Tuxedo’s sophomore album, Tuxedo II. The blessing of the Doggfather was of special importance to Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, solidifying them at the forefront of the new wave of boogie funk – one that owes as much to G-funk as P-funk. This is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic lowriders: a mélange of Cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant-funk that resonates with authenticity in an era where so many are faking it.
Bonding over a shared love of Parliament, Zapp and other signs in the greater funk Zodiac, Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Jake One (Taurus), collectively known as Tuxedo, return with their fourth studio album, Tuxedo IV.
Their first release in March of 2015 debuted at #1 on Apple Music’s RnB charts, christened as “Dance floor catnip” by the Boston Globe, and “Pure disco-funk hot fire” by Okayplayer. The sophomore album on Stones Throw Records was premiered with a special performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and dubbed as “Straight-up funk magic” by Noisey. Tuxedo III, released in 2019, includes features from the late great MF DOOM, DāM-FunK, Leven Kali, Benny Sings and many others.
