DESCRIPTION:
this year, the Mezcal Brothers are honored inductees into the Nebraska Music Hall of Fame!!!

Through numerous lineup changes and nearly two decades of experience, The Mezcal Brothers have remained staples in the Lincoln and Nebraska music scene.

The quartet of familiar faces will bring their rockabilly sounds to the corner of 13th and O streets on Friday for Hear Lincoln.

The roots-rock band has existed since 1998, performing their upbeat, polished tunes for numerous crowds both locally and nationally. Originally started by Gerardo Meza and his brother Tony, the band’s members have shifted throughout time while adding new sounds and instruments to the group. Currently Mezcal Brothers comprises Meza, guitarist Benny Kushner, bassist Charlie Johnson and Shaun Theye on drums.

In anticipation of their Hear Lincoln show, Mezcal Brothers’ frontman Gerardo Meza answered questions on the origins of the long-running band, his early musical memories and the culture of Lincoln.
