The Dodge Brothers
The Dodge Brothers produce new songs written and performed in the old style -a hybrid of blues, rockabilly, jugband, skiffle and early rock’n’roll.
Comprising Mike Hammond, Aly Hirji, (BBC film critic) Mark Kermode and Alex Hammond, The Dodge Brothers are renowned for their take on Classic Americana.
Following their second album ‘Louisa and the Devil’, (‘wonderful stuff!’ –Whispering Bob Harris) the band recorded ‘The Sun Set’ (‘Marvellous new record” -Jools Holland) at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, using authentically old-fashioned recording techniques to recapture the spirit of a bygone age (a BBC Radio 2 Documentary was made following the band on this journey).
Their version of Rock Island Line, has now been used in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man, The Dodge Brothers featuring in the movie as The Beatles support act in The Cavern in 1961.
As a live act The Dodge Brothers have played everywhere from Lapland to the Royal Albert Hall, selling out throughout the UK. The Dodge Brothers tunes of proven merit never fail to entertain.
