Welcome To The Brit Brothers

The Brit Brothers

Jamie Henry and Peter Bos, two ex-pats, got together in February 2017 for an informal blues jam. It didn’t take long for them to realize that Jamie’s guitar work and Peter’s vocals and harmonica blended well together, and that they also shared a common interest in the kind of music they wanted to play. This is rooted in the classic Chicago-style blues, but also includes the Texas sound, as played by Stevie Ray Vaughan, and some of the more modern blues styles. Thanks to the wonders of the internet and modern technology, they were able to synthesize bass and drums backing tracks, and so get the sound of a full blues band. After a well-received initial appearance at an open mic night at the Bunkhouse in Bulls Gap in March, but still without a band name, a mutual friend suggested the name The Brit Brothers, which stuck. Both Jamie and Peter are self-employed and have busy schedules, and don’t intend to play every night, but they enjoy performing in front of people who have the same taste in music and look forward to continuing to do so.
