This third offering by Celtic/World Fusion group Brothers 3 shows just how far they've come in developing their unique sound as they bring the listener along on a musical journey through many styles and moods.

Beginning from a trio of siblings, Brothers 3 has grown in both size and scope, evolving an innovative, very unique sound. The group's various backgrounds in folk, rock, country and especially jazz, infuse their music with richly layered textures, lush vocals and World Beat harmonies and rhythms.
