THE BROTHERS FOUR
One of the most enduring and influential groups of America’s great folk revival, The Brothers Four have been captivating audiences around the world for more than six decades with their signature harmonies, timeless songs and unmistakable acoustic sound.
Musical million-sellers include “Greenfields,” “Yellow Bird,” “Try to Remember” and “Across the Wide Missouri.” Their recording of “The Green Leaves of Summer,” featured in the motion picture The Alamo, became another signature song, with the song receiving an Academy Award nomination.
Pioneers of the 1960’s folk revival, The Brothers Four remain one of the best-known and most beloved groups from the golden age of American folk music.

Audiences will hear the songs that made The Brothers Four internationally famous, including “Greenfields,” “Yellow Bird,” “Try to Remember,” “The Green Leaves of Summer,” “Across the Wide Missouri,” “Blue Water Line” and “Shenandoah.”
An evening with The Brothers Four is an unforgettable celebration of American folk music—beautiful harmonies, exceptional musicianship and songs that have become part of the soundtrack of generations.
“The Brothers Four remind us why great folk music endures—four voices, acoustic instruments and timeless songs that still have the power to bring an audience together.”
