The Brudi Brothers

The Brudi Brothers, a three-brother band from Seattle, Washington, are recognized for their raucous performances and distinctive old-world soul sound that combines old-school folk, country, and rock and roll elements. The brothers have been playing together since childhood, drawing on their travels and adventures, including hitchhiking across Europe and living on sailboats, to create their unique hypnotic sound. Their viral live clip of “Me More Cowboy Than You” has attracted millions of views globally.

Their 2020 album, See You Soon, was recorded on a houseboat in Amsterdam under unconventional conditions, capturing an intimate slice of life just before the COVID-19 pandemic. They meld poignant lyrics, understated instrumentation, and playful harmonies. During this performance, singer-songwriter Meels, who blends folk, country, and bluegrass into a self-styled “Critter Country,” also appeared as a special guest. Meels hails from Northern California and studied Recorded Music at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute.
