Mike
Zito, Devon Allman, Cyril Neville ~ The soul of the south. Amplified
soul for the new generation
Before
they even hit a chord, The Royal Southern Brotherhood have your
attention. In the US South, where music is religion, two rock ‘n’
roll bloodlines tower above all others. In the saloon bars from
Mississippi to Maryland, mere mention of the Allman and Neville
Brothers casts a magic spell. Conversation falls silent. Pool balls
stop rolling. Ten-gallon hats are tipped in respect and beer-bottles
raised in salute. These aren’t just bands, they’re gods, and with
a lineup comprising both the iconic Cyril Neville and Devon Allman,
The Royal Southern Brotherhood come pre-loaded with expectations.
Don’t worry: they can match them. The family tree might be
auspicious, but this new band trades on talent, not genealogy. It’s
not about rock history: it’s about the here-and-now.
Right
now, in 2013, there’s something in the air, as The Royal Southern
Brotherhood drag their thrilling new brand of blues-rock and
white-hot musicianship from the Southern States onto the world stage.
The South is rising again. Come along for the ride.
