ABOUT "The Wind"
A longtime New London favorite, Burn Brothers Mountain is from the backwoods north of Duluth, MN. A soulful duo of real-life brothers, Ryan and Jesse Dermody, they've been playing music together everyday as for 24 years. They've released 11 full-length albums of original music, and have toured across the country, having played more than 2,150 live shows. A roiling melting pot of so many musical influences, their sound is hard to describe, except as energetic and eclectic; with afro-cuban rhythms, Zappa-esque spontanaeity, grittiness, bluesyness, tenderness, and a singer-songwriter, folky flair.
Check out their recent album, The Dark Exchange, recorded and produced with world-famous Alan Sparhawk of Low. They also end each of their sets and their shows with extended drum jams, which are a healing and hypnotic joy each and every time. They've created music with other MN music legends like Ryan Young of Trampled By Turtles and Jerree Small of Southwire and Coyote. They've even played with Charlie Parr.
