Brothers Lazaroff - Hope, Fear, Youth

David and Jeff Lazaroff could be a pair of telepathic siblings. But it's more likely that the brothers' compatibility onstage comes from playing music and writing songs together since their high school days. The duo carried on composing as a team for more than a decade while David lived in Austin, TX, all the while the songwriters continued to develop their roots-driven sound. Currently reunited in St. Louis, the fraternal front men are a staple of the local music scene and draw crowds all over town.

Besides a possible secret language, the brothers are equipped with earnest songwriting and an earthy sound peppered with jazz-inspired riffs and fuzzy solos. The remainder of the quintet they've led for more than four years includes Grover Stewart on drums, Teddy Brookins on bass and Mo Egeston on keys. Both in the studio and onstage, the evidence is clear that the group has developed an intuition and familiarity that allows each player to create something unexpected.

Brothers Lazaroff was once just a group of friends living in Austin, TX held loosely together by music. Now, a solid band of brothers led by Jeff and David Lazaroff, the group's new album Hope, Fear, Youth is a combination of new tunes and older songs reinvented with the current members. One of the older songs featured on the album is the lead track "Battle Hymn" which was recently been covered by Doc Feldman & The LD50.  Recorded with Jacob Detering at Red Rill Entertainment studio the Brothers Lazaroff were able to capture the essence and the magic of their live arrangements on the album. 

Smooth, soulful and innovative folkish country R&B funk with plenty of grooves and a rootsy flavor. I think I'll dig up some of my old The Average White Boy albums and keep this groove going.
