Greg Cornell and The Cornell Brothers
Acoustic, Bluegrass, and Roots Music

Greg Cornell & The Cornell Brothers is a Brooklyn-based, fourpiece acoustic roots music band that plays original songs heavily influenced by bluegrass, country, old-timey and blues. Cornell's songs are influenced as much by his literary heroes (Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau) as they are by his musical ones (Doc Boggs, Levon Helm, Neil Young, 1970's bluegrass). He writes stories about regret turning to redemption, and holding onto hope through travail. Tight three-part harmonies and excellent musicianship (guitar, fiddle, standup bass, percussion) carry the stories along, over mountains and fields, down streams to the ocean. The band released their debut album, The Deep Ocean Blues (available on iTunes), in 2014, and will go into the studio at Brooklyn Recording in March to cut a new10-song record of original material. Justin Guip (Levon Helm, Bow Thayer, David Bromberg) will engineer and mix.
