Chronicle Herald Jan 08 2015 NOW HEAR THIS - by Stephen Cooke Pick of the Week: The Saunders Brothers Show - Singles. “This has to be one of the more unique hybrids I’ve come across locally; the Saunders Brothers Show combines country, comedy, Celtic, rock and pop as a kind of self-styled variety program. Somehow Singles gave me a flashback to the old Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show of the 1970s with Ed and Terry Saunders and Brian Smeltzer trying anything for a tune or a laugh, singing a love song to a TV Weather Girl or imploring their audience to Get Off Your Ass and Dance. Like a proper variety show, there are also special guests, like fiddler Alycia Putnam on Dumping Day and multi-talented singer/guitarist Christine Campbell on the award-winning tune The Man You Used to Be, plus comic Candy Palmater spicing up Let’s Get Naughty. Not everything works; but you get a sense of what the Saunders Brothers bring to their live show in terms of personality and crowd-pleasing humour between the more serious songs. For more information on The Saunders Brothers, visit the trio’s website, www.saundersbrothersshow.com, or Facebook page.” Stephen Cooke Arts Reporter - The Chronicle Herald
“With a live show that evokes equal parts Loudon Wainwright, Barenaked Ladies, and Benny Hill (Maybe a dose of some naughty Maclean & Maclean)…it would be no mean feat to capture that energy and wit on record. But they’ve done it here with a handful of fun and original tunes. Kudos!”

“The Man You Used to Be is probably my favourite...after a couple of listens, it really dug in. Christine sounds great and the violin is a nice touch.”
Tom Bedell Q104 - Q 104
``We have featured Dumping Day a couple spins and put I’m The One into rotation this week. CJLS is on board!``

Get Off Your Ass and Dance is so in keeping with The Saunders Brothers amazing live show. And Christine is great on The Man You Used to Be.
Jonathan Crouse CJBW - CKBW

Bio
"The Saunders Brothers Show" is all about engaging the audience to enjoy themselves, participate and if appropriate - keep the bar tender busy! We come from a Nova Scotia tradition of the Kitchen Party - basically a rowdy house party. Over the past 10 years we have developed a completely unique show - funny, lively, up, and celebratory.
Our Most recent album (our third) called SINGLES, expands our musical landscape through musical collaborations with a dozen other great Nova Scotia based artist.
We pride ourselves in having a high level of professionalism and respect for the people we are working with in the music business - we're not kids, we're business people just like you. No egos - No B.S. - We'd like a decent buck for giving you an outstanding show!
"The Saunders Brothers Show" would love to hear from you!
