Meet the Christopher Brothers: Cameron, 19 years old, solid and steady, writes the lyrics and plays drums. Charles, 17 years old, the cool brother (think Daniel Craig’s James Bond), arranges the songs and plays guitar. Ethan, the 14 year old bassist, is the reserved Clark Kent who magically transforms on stage into a legitimate inheritor of the Gloved One’s legacy.
Charles charged into the band world early teaming up with two middle school buddies. He played with considerable enthusiasm but such patchy skills in their view they kicked him out of the band. Big mistake. He informed his mother, Lydia, and she encouraged him to consider working with his brothers, starting with learning “Black Magic Woman.” They mastered it in record time and experienced an “aha moment” when they realized they could build something special and have industrial-strength fun in the process.
Lydia is both mom and manager but with a decidedly non-stage mother style. Observing the speed with which they came together she pointed out that talent without hard work equals unfulfilled dreams. The brothers took her comment to heart and during the past six years, the junior and senior high school of hard knocks, have grown from gigs at the local grammar school, to Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade, to headlining at the Whisky, the Roxy and Legoland, to winning a national competition playing at Massachusetts Six Flags which launched their inaugural U.S. tour. Recently they released their first full-length CD, “Dog Daze”. Their sound is eclectic, part infectious Top 40, part Lennon-McCartney originality.
The Brothers have over 50,000 followers on Twitter and more than 300,000 “likes” on Facebook.
It has been an exciting six years and it’s only just begun.
