National Touring Artists Pat Wictor, Joe Jencks and Greg Greenway have made their mark as veteran touring
singer-songwriters, but Brother Sun is no songwriter's round. The trio's harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Fusing folk,
Americana, blues, pop, jazz, rock, and a cappella singing, Brother Sun is an explosion of musical diversity and harmony, in the finest of male singing traditions.
From literally three major points on the map - New York,
Boston, and Chicago - Joe, Greg, and Pat have truly blended themselves into Brother Sun, a unique celebration of the amazing power of singing together. As they will tell you, Brother Sun is not resident in any one of them - it exists between them and audiences feel this intimacy immediately. Their combined musical skills make for an unforgettable experience - three rich voices blending
on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, bouzouki and piano. www.brothersunmusic.com

"I just heard one of the best new songs of my life. The song is called "Trouble," and the group is called Brother Sun. Three magnificent male voices--together. Gives me the
