When Wes was invited up to sing with older brother Greg Reamsbottom (The Hairfarmers, Whole Lotta Led) at Whistler many years ago, someone jokingly referred to him as "Little Brother." The name stuck, and, five years ago when the band was looking for a name, "The Little Brother Band" seemed a natural choice. Although the band has been actively playing since 2002, the current lineup has been in place since 2005, when the brother connection was reinforced with the addition of Davis on bass, brother of drummer Tyler.
The members of The Little Brother Band bring together a diverse collection of musical influences: folk, blues, rock, pop, country, soul, jazz, and world.
Wes provides the pure and sometimes emotively raw vocal sound, acoustic guitar, and a knack for writing heartfelt and catchy lyrics, while Dan brings a soulful voice and some powerhouse bluesy lead guitar. Kelly adds an element of class and R&B to the band with her elegant keys and soulful saxophone. Tyler brings a touch of jazz with subtle pocket drumming and an amazing sense of dynamics. Davis (White Chocolate), is equally at home playing rock solid bass lines and the occasional tasty fill as he is with the funky grooves of George Clinton.
All members of the band are capable songwriters and are lately producing collaborative works that truly represent the 'sound' of The Little Brother Band.
Lower-Mainland based, The Little Brother Band has played gigs throughout southern B.C. Past shows have included The Railway Club, The ROXY (Vancouver), The ACT Theatre and Rooster's Country Cabaret (Maple Ridge), The Washington Avenue Grill and Coast Capital Theatre (White Rock), Dusty's and Merlin's (Whistler) and The Duncan Showroom Garage (Vancouver Island).
With the release of their debut album, "Reflections," in late 2006, and their sophomore album, "Thicker Than Water," in May 2010, The Little Brother Band is focused on spreading their music throughout B.C. and Canada.
