“Brother Sun … seems only to get better.” Says Elmore Magazine’s Suzanne Cadgène after the band’s performance at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in July. “With tight compelling harmonies, that weave blues, rock, gospel, and a cappella traditions into a folk potpourri that only few can match. Brother Sun’s lyrics—nuanced, compelling and always going to the heart of the human condition—consistently place them in the top ranks of folk performers and human rights activists.”

The highly acclaimed acoustic trio Brother Sun is pleased to be returning to Voices Cafe on April 10, 2016. David Vita, House Manager for Voices Café, asked and answered his own question, “Why do we keep bringing them back? Quite simply because they’re just that good!” Their combined musical skills make for an unforgettable experience - three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, piano, ukulele, and bouzouki.

After five years of performing all over North America, Brother Sun has established itself as one of the most compelling groups on the contemporary acoustic scene. Their sophomore CD, “Some Part of the Truth,” and their song “Lady of the Harbor” both were #1 on Folk-DJ Chart for the year of 2013 and garnered amazing reviews. Uniting respected singer-songwriters Joe Jencks, Pat Wictor, and Greg Greenway, Brother Sun is known for powerful harmonies, intricate musical arrangements, and their easy onstage rapport. Their third and just released CD Weights and Wings, confirms the trio’s dedication to extending its musical and artistic boundaries.

Joe, Pat, and Greg each toured as solo singer-songwriters for more than a decade before forming Brother Sun and Voices Café was one of the first venues where they performed. Their collective musical experience

encompasses folk, roots, blues, pop, jazz, rock and a cappella singing. The band fuses them all in an explosion of musical diversity and harmony, in the finest of male singing traditions. From three major cities - Chicago, New York, and Boston - the three have truly blended themselves into a unique celebration of the amazing power of singing together.
