Brother Kent is a Durham-based foursome with singer/guitarist Kent Nickerson, drummer Chris Russell, bassist Pierre Lefebvre, and guitarist Josh Flenniken. Driven by Nickerson’s measured songwriting, their first EP “Absent The Glory” tours the American sonic tradition, as well as the landscape—from the moonshine-slur of small town melancholy, to the crowded aloneness of the insomniac city, and all the open highways that connect the two. 

Rock ‘n roll road songs, barnyard stomps, funky folk, and spacey laments are complimented with locomotive rhythm and scenic guitars—sometimes sweet, sometimes screaming. 

Equal parts The National and The Band, it’s Indie-edged Americana with storytelling always at the heart.
