Brother (a.k.a. David Bingaman) and The Hayes (a.k.a. Jennie Hayes Kurtz) are siblings hailing from North Texas. Their love for the blues, country music, and bluegrass is the perfect vehicle for their playful, story-based songwriting. Jennie Hayes and David's unique voices blend to form that classic blood harmony while maintaining their own character and strength. Their duets call to mind artists like Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris and it's easy to hear the influence of Doc Watson, Guy Clark, and John Prine in their songwriting. The two are heavily influenced by the power of place whether that be the suburbs of Dallas, TX or a creek side in Chattanooga, TN. Spend some time with 'The Dead End' EP or full length album, 'Tennessee Nights' and you'll immediately know who they are, where they've been, and that they're going somewhere special.
The band performs as an acoustic duo featuring flat picking bluegrass guitar and clawhammer banjo as well as an electric four-piece band, usually featuring bass, drums, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar.
