Like many acts these days, the Brian Just Band got their start by accident. Brian and his bandmate Josie invited their friend Rick to play trumpet on their couples' duet, but when he sang the horn part instead, the resulting harmonies inspired them to start a band together.

By turns low-key and boot-stompin', their versatile blend of acoustic folk and bluegrass highlights their signature harmonies. Featuring members of other local bands Como Avenue Jug Band, Beight, and Tuesday's Robot, the sextet is releasing their full-length album, If You Like To Be Alone Or If You Need To Be With Someone.

Songs Performed: "Electric," "Washburn Square," and "We Don't Break Bread."
