The Bros. Landreth are a Winnipeg-based roots-rock and alternative country ensemble led by brothers Joey and David Landreth.
Emerging in 2013, the band quickly established a reputation for high-level musicianship, particularly Joey's slide guitar prowess and their tight, brotherly vocal harmonies. Their sound is a sophisticated blend of Southern blues, folk-rock, and blue-eyed soul, often drawing comparisons to Bonnie Raitt and Little Feat. Their debut album, 'Let It Lie', was a critical success, winning a Juno Award and earning them international distribution. Culturally, they represent a bridge between the Canadian prairie music scene and the broader Americana movement. A significant moment in their career arc was Bonnie Raitt covering their song 'Made Up Mind', which served as a massive industry endorsement of their songwriting caliber. Critical consensus highlights their ability to modernize roots music without losing its organic, analog soul. They are frequently associated with the 'guitar nerd' community due to Joey Landreth's influential tone and technique, yet they maintain broad appeal through accessible, narrative-driven songwriting.
