“A little of this, a little of that and a whole lot of fun!"
That pretty much sums up Homebrew Stringband. The band is made up of Gary and Alyse Read singing and playing the bluegrass, Americana and "oldies" songs they grew up with. Gary (guitar, mandolin, vocals) brings his oldies rock while Alyse (bass, banjo, and vocals) pulls in her bluegrass and mountain roots. After moving from Seattle to Spokane, they met Brad Keeler, the third member of the band. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who brings in a great old-time sound as well as blues and bluegrass influences. As he says , “ I play covers from the last 100 years; originals from the last 30+ years.” Between the three, you never quite know what you’re going to get. They like to call their style of music “twisted bluegrass. Always feel free sing along with them!
