   About The Standby Brothers
WE LOVE HARMONIES. being brothers makes us relatively harmonius. we play the ottawa pub circuit as an acoustic duo, so the cheesy organ stays in the basement for now. love all kinds of music, so the diverse influences find their way into our songs; presented on our CD "still waiting". The Standby Brothers: making ottawa just a little bit funner! Check-em out live! Myspace Backgrounds Myspace Backgrounds

There have been many famous brothers over the years...... Cain & Abel (although Cain did kill Abel)... Romulus and Remus (which I think were monkeys)... The Everly Brothers (I think they married the Bronte Sisters).... the Brothers Grimm (Germans Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm, which names sounds distinctly like someone clearing their throat).... and The Chuckle Brothers (British humourist)... you are amongst the finest of company!

Thank you so much for the compliment Les, I wrote all the lyrics for the songs that Brent Rader is playing so it's a special project for me.

As always, I love stopping by your site to kick back and listen to your wonderful music.
