Lauded for their “remarkable musicianship and humble idealism” (The Sun Sentinel), The Lubben Brothers have spent their lives pioneering an original sound steeped in lyrical sensitivity, rich vocal harmonies, brotherly banter, and the multi-instrumental flair of the American folk tradition.

After sharing childhood on a goat farm in a family of six brothers, Michael, Josh, and Tom weave their colorful life story into their concerts and songs, earning a reputation as “a folk-singing force” (Palm Beach Illustrated) now with roots in Nashville, TN. Though their classical studies began at the age of 5, the brothers grew up on open-air concerts featuring local fiddlers, folksingers, dancers, and storytellers, all of which drove them to find their unique voice in the folk tradition. Now, supported by two decades of classical study and over ten years of performance, the 30-year-old brothers are veterans of the stage with tour appearances ranging from classical performing arts centers to hockey arenas.

The Lubben Brothers have spent their lives pioneering an original sound steeped in lyrical sensitivity, rich vocal harmonies, and brotherly banter. With a jaw-dropping 14 instruments between them, the triplets add a multi-instrumental flair to American Folk tradition. Through their innovative blend of Celtic and American folk energy and classical finesse, The Lubben Brothers have crafted an unforgettable live performance and have established themselves as some of the best composers and songwriters of their generation. From reckless to heart-breaking, their repertoire features their own original songs as well as legendary works by artists such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Gordon Lightfoot, and tells the rarely-told stories of the folk-song tradition.
