The Crooked Brothers is a 3 piece band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their style is a blend of folk, blues and rock'n'roll.
On stage they juggle instruments like banjos, mandolins, guitars and more between them.
All three sing, varying from solo to close harmonies. Each has his own style and touch.
There's a mix of rural and urban influence. All this leads to a diversity.

The Crooked Brothers have performed to sold-out rooms at festivals.
They have toured 10 countries, played in nearly every province and territory in Canada, and have released three full length albums, as well as an EP.

The band has grown � they rarely perform as a trio anymore, opting for the heft and groove that the upright bass and drums afford.
This was the last show of the Dutch tour. The tour will continue in Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.

The Crooked Brothers are:
Matt Foster- vocals, guitars, banjo
Darwin Baker- vocals, harmonicas, guitar, dobro
Jesse Matas- vocals, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, guitars
Additional members:
Daniel Bertnick- drums
Natalie Bohrm- upright bass

* At 03:01 in track 15 the battery of the recorder that was connected to the soundboard went dead (the song lasts 04:25).
Track 16 was talk and track 17 was unplugged, so the soundboard recorder would not have recorded that anyway, so it was no big deal.
