ABOUT C2 & THE BROTHERS REED
Hailing from Kentucky with a sound as unique and smooth as the state’s beloved bourbon, C2 & The Brothers Reed’s authenticity shines – in their music, and on stage.
Forming in 2013, the brothers hit the road to spread their sound and haven’t looked back. After the independent release of their first EP Hot Mess, along with an extensive tour schedule, they took to the studio less than a year later to cut their newest record Weigh Station Tour.
Split into sides, ‘Exit A’ and ‘Exit B’, Weigh Station Tour explores gritty rock and roll while referencing 60’s and 70’s era soul music, embracing a style that is nearly forgotten in the surge of modern sounds and technology.
Vocals, Bass / Cameron Clark
Guitar / Kelly Reed
Keys / James Weishar
Drums / Kody Reed
