The Stockwell Brothers

After almost four decades playing together across the U.S. and in Europe, The Stockwell Brothers are Vermont’s longest running folk/ bluegrass group.  Starting out in 1969, they won a handful of contests, released their first album “The Green Mountain Boys” and appeared in concert with artists from Earl Scruggs to the Mahavishnu Orchestra- all by their mid teens. 

While attending college, they collaborated with Phil Rosenthal and Mike Auldridge  as “Old Dog” on two Flying Fish albums: “a real find… the group is excellent… a superb album”- Washington Post; “Very talented, inventive players”- Guitar Player.

The Brothers have since released independent projects, “Stobro” and “Leave My Dreams Alone”:  “Tasty arrangements; brotherly harmonies, perfectly blended instruments and great songs.” – Music Revue.  Their music has also been featured in numerous compilations, most recently the Vermont Arts Council CD “The Cream of Vermont”.

The Stockwell’s repertoire spans traditional and progressive styles, but their trademark acoustic trio sound focuses on new singer/ songwriter material recast with banjo, alternative rhythms and three-part harmonies.
