The Cash Brothers are a Canadian alternative country/ folk rock duo, based in Toronto, Ontario, consisting of brothers Andrew and Peter Cash. Their alt-country/alt-folk music includes ballads which blend acoustic and electric guitar work with vocal harmonies. [1]
Prior to the creation of The Cash Brothers, Andrew and Peter Cash both had established careers as songwriters and musicians. [2] Andrew was a member of the bands L'Étranger and Ursula, and a solo artist, and Peter was a member of Skydiggers. Although their careers were closely connected (Skydiggers, in fact, often played as Andrew's backing band at the Spadina Hotel), they had never written or performed as a duo. [3]
In 1996, however, Peter left his band, and Ursula disbanded. [3] The brothers started writing songs [4] and performing as a duo. Their debut album as The Cash Brothers, Raceway, was recorded over time at Chemical Sound and released independently in 1999. [3] It was re-released in the US and in Europe by Rounder Records in 2001 under the name How was Tomorrow. [5] The pair toured with a backup band in the UK, Netherlands and the US in support of the album. [3]
Their second album, Phonebooth Tornado, came out in 2000. [2]
By the time their album A Brand New Night was released in 2003, the pair had toured extensively, [6] [7] and were developing a more electric and pop-oriented sound. [8] They toured in support of the album in the US. [9]
While on tour, the brothers travel with a backup band. Musicians who have toured with the Cash Brothers include Gord Tough, Randy Curnew, Paul Taylor and Todd Lumley. [3]
