Artist Information

Biography

The Youth and Beauty Brigade was formed in the summer of 2006. After Adam Hopkins (vocals/guitar) finished touring as the bass player for The Cinematic Underground, he recruited childhood friend Brad Jensen (drums) and long time friend Ethan Duffy (bass) to form the band. With an emphasis on meaningful lyrics the band took on The Decemberists' inspired name "The Youth and Beauty Brigade." Later on Brayden Russel (Rhythm Guitar) formerly of Santa Barbara based band "My Life Story" was added to complete the lineup. With a mix of straight rock songs and more melodic rock, The Youth and Beauty Brigade delivers sets that will keep the audience engaged.
