The Brothers Chaffey have been singing together for over 4 years as a group, but these two Ottawa based musicians are, in fact, actual brothers. Matthew Chaffey sings lead vocal and plays rhythm guitar, while his brother Curtis Chaffey plays lead guitar and sings vocals as well. Their rock 'n roll, country blues sound comes from an appreciation of traditional North American music styles and their experiences fronting acts on the road regionally and nationally. The two have been writing and performing in various groups, but it was not until 2005 that they moved forward with recording and releasing their first CD “Harbord Street Soul”.

With help from Michael Fitzpatrick (Downchild Blues Band) on drums, Alec Fraser (David Wilcox/Jeff Healy) - bass/engineer/co-producer and Michael Fonfara (Downchild/Lou Reed) - co-producer/keyboards, the Brothers recorded a twelve song debut featuring all original material that had veins of country, soul, blues and rock. Matthew Chaffey's soulful vocal sound moves comfortably through many different styles and his well rooted guitar playing keeps the songs grounded and driving. Accompanied by his younger brother, Curtis's cool-handed telecaster twang adds country textures to songs like "Baby, Ooh Baby" and "Come Back to Me" then changes gears with tasteful blues solos on "You've Got to Be Strong" and "The Phone".

2008 finds them recording material for a new CD to showcase their roots influenced song writing and their rock, country sound. Ken Freisen(Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, The Sadies) and his Almonte Ont. studio are where the Brothers have landed for this new recording. Band mates Nick Diak , drums, and Dave Macdonald, bass, are contributing their talents and all parties involved are looking forward to touring in support of the new CD this summer. “The Brothers Chaffey are brave old souls in a brave new world.” - Sylvie Hill (Ottawa Xpress) Jan. 2008
