   About The Makepeace Brothers
Known for their timeless and infectious harmonies and breezy, "front-porch rifts" which inspire fans to sing and dance, the Makepeace Brothers thrill crowds worldwide. Since completing their international tour, "Music Magic Makepeace" with Atlantic Records recording artist Jason Mraz last year, the Makepeace Brothers continue to play to enthusiastic audiences around the US, Canada, and the UK. Their extensive catalog of upbeat songs, from their self-titled debut album, including “Things Gonna Wait” and “I Can Always Do It” get fans up and dancing while songs “Hero” and “Lovely” serve as anthems to their message of love, one world, peace, and consciousness. Home grown in the vibrant music community of Ithaca, NY, the Makepeace Brothers were surrounded by a constant soundtrack of Dylan, Marley, the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, as well as diverse acts from around the world that they watched perform at music festivals each year. Combining elements of bluegrass, country, Jazz, Brazilian, African, and Celtic, their music is as worldy and positive as their message. The Makepeace Brothers are comprised of brothers Finian and Ciaran Makepeace as well as long-time friend and bassist Conor Gaffney. They are occasionally accompanied by brothers Aidan and Liam Makepeace. For more information, check out www.myspace.com/makepeacebrothers. To check out their disk that people "won't take out of their car stario" go to iTunes.com


The four Makepeace Brothers grew up in the vibrant music community of Ithaca, N.Y. Although they have been singing and playing music together for most of their lives, the brothers were first inspired to write their own songs during a year-long motorhome tour of the US in the early 90's. This trip gave them direct contact with a wide range of American Roots music and the musicians who play it – from bluegrass in North Carolina to Jazz in New Orleans. Their musical and cultural horizons were broadened further by exposure to African, Latin, and Celtic music at summer festivals in New York State, as well as by their experiences as exchange students in Costa Rica, Brazil and England.

In 1996, Aidan, Liam, and Finian founded the "world rock" band, "Oculus" which produced three albums, and toured extensively in the eastern USA, as well as in England, Ireland, and Brazil. Although many types of roots and world music have influenced the Makepeace Brothers, their songwriting has been equally inspired by the poetry of Bob Dylan; the political consciousness of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Marley, and the array of musical possibilities put forth by U2, Paul Simon, and Van Morrison -- as well as by hometown musicians and friends; Hank Roberts and The Horseflies. realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools
