The Brothers Comatose

The Brothers Comatose Overview

The Brothers Comatose are a roots-infused bluegrass band known for their infectious blend of Americana, folk, and traditional bluegrass. Based in San Francisco, California, the band has developed a reputation for their high-energy performances, heartfelt songwriting, and impressive musicianship. Brothers Ben and Alex Morrison founded the band in 2008. Shortly thereafter they added the unique talents of classically-trained violinist Philip Brezina and steadfast bassist Steve Height to the lineup.

Musical Style and Themes

The core of their sound is defined by tight vocal harmonies, virtuosic string arrangements, and a foot-stomping, back-porch spirit. The Brothers Comatose's style draws from a variety of influences, including old-time, bluegrass, country, and rock. Their songwriting, with its emphasis on strong storytelling, gives a modern, West Coast twist to their particular brand of bluegrass. Their songs often delve into themes of love, loss, adventure, and the human experience, all while maintaining an upbeat, rollicking energy that keeps fans coming back for more.

Live Performances

The band has earned praise for their live shows, which are marked by their lively stage presence and infectious enthusiasm. Whether performing intimate club shows or festival main stages, The Brothers Comatose deliver an unforgettable experience that showcases their deep passion for music and performance.

Latest Addition

In 2024, the band welcomed the final piece of the puzzle, multi-instrumentalist Addie Levy into the fold, adding a new layer of depth and dynamic to their sound and their live show. As a mandolin player and singer from Virginia steeped in bluegrass and old-time music, Levy contributes both a fresh energy and a traditional pedigree to The Brothers Comatose. Her voice seamlessly blends with those of the Morrison brothers, while her picking enhances their already distinctive bluegrass stylings.
