If you’ve spent any time online in the last couple of years, odds are you’ve already met The Brudi Brothers — whether you realized it or not. Their cheekily infectious earworm “Me More Cowboy Than You” racked up over 1.5 billion views and 56 million streams across platforms, turning the Seattle trio into one of the more delightfully unexpected Americana crossover stories of the decade. Today, the brothers are cashing in that viral goodwill for something a little meatier: a brand new EP called Dark & Stormy, out now via Mom+Pop Music.

Johannes, Conrad, and George Brudi have been playing together since they were kids, cutting their teeth as buskers and street poets before graduating to the kind of raucous, old-world-soul live shows that turn passersby into diehards. That busker DNA is all over Dark & Stormy — the harmonies are tight in the way only siblings can pull off, the instrumentation swaps hands like it’s a family heirloom, and the songwriting leans into the grit and warmth that made their 2020 debut See You Soon a word-of-mouth favorite.

Fans looking for a taste of what the brothers do best in a live setting should check out their recently released KEXP session, which captures the band in their natural habitat — three multi-instrumentalists trading licks and stories like they’re still busking the Pike Place boardwalk.

The tour in support of Dark & Stormy kicks off April 18 at the Vashon Theater in Vashon, WA, then rolls into a serious run of dates supporting The Head And The Heart through May, with festival stops at All Roads, Chinook, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Under The Big Sky, and Evanston Folk Festival already on the books. There’s also a can’t-miss co-bill with Sierra Ferrell on June 12 at The Bluestone in Columbus.
