Description
The Covers Brothers are real life siblings Paul and Steven Herron. Having played together for over 15 years, they share the same love for all harmony based classic pop music from the early sounds of 50s America through to the Britpop days of the 90s.
When they sing, the sound tells you they're brothers, and when they chat in between songs you can tell they're from the north east!
No backing tracks, no electronic trickery, just two voices and two acoustic guitars, simple, authentic, and fun.
