The Meadows Brothers at Bristol's Stone Church Coffeehouse

Bristol’s Stone Church Coffee House at the First Congregational Church welcomes The Meadow Brothers on Saturday, April 10th. The Meadows Brothers' distinct brand of roots music combines folk, blues, country and rock 'n' roll into what the Boston Globe calls “An engagingly twangy sibling sound all their own.” Ian and Dustin Meadows are the Meadows Brothers. They share that essential brother-band DNA: a telepathic tightness, the ability to stop and start vocal phrases in lockstep, to fall effortlessly into close harmonies, trade off phrases and navigate together the fresh expression of American roots music they create. Their 2017 release, “TRUTH”, demonstrates the brothers' keen ability to get to the heart of the matter with simple melodies, blood harmonies, unsweetened songwriting, expressive guitars and blues-tinged harp. Since taking the stage as “The Meadows Brothers” in 2012 while both were still in High School, Ian and Dustin have logged tens of thousands of road miles, written a pile of songs, recorded a few albums, met a lot of interesting people, and had a lot of fun every step of the way. Dustin says “There aren’t too many things that beat getting to travel around and play music with your brother. We do it because we absolutely love it. The fact that people connect with the songs just makes it better.” Keeping it simple, continuously improving their craft, and not taking themselves too seriously are major tenets of the brother’s code. Chip McCabe of the LONESOME NOISE wrote: "Blending folk and country with a blues edge, the brothers Meadows pack a powerful punch for being just two dudes armed with only a couple acoustic guitars and a harmonica. But their harmonies are the type of stuff only siblings can usually muster and their songs smack of souls much older than their earthly years would let on” Bristol’s Stone Coffee House is an affordable, family-oriented, handicap-accessible musical venue. Doors open at 7:00PM and the show starts at 7:30PM. Tickets are $20.00. Seating is limited and reservations are mandatory. Please call 401-253-4813 for reservations or additional information.
