The Cash Brothers are a Canadian alternative country/folk rock duo, based in Toronto, Ontario, consisting of brothers Andrew and Peter Cash. Their alt-country/alt-folk music includes ballads which blend acoustic and electric guitar work with vocal harmonies.[1]
History
Prior to the creation of The Cash Brothers, Andrew and Peter Cash both had established careers as songwriters and musicians.[2] Andrew was a member of the bands L'Étranger and Ursula, and a solo artist, and Peter was a member of Skydiggers. Although their careers were closely connected (Skydiggers, in fact, often played as Andrew's backing band at the Spadina Hotel), they had never written or performed as a duo.[3]
In 1996, however, Peter left his band, and Ursula disbanded.[3] The brothers started writing songs[4] and performing as a duo. Their debut album as The Cash Brothers, Raceway, was recorded over time at Chemical Sound and released independently in 1999.[3] With a few changes, it was re-released in the US and in Europe by Rounder Records in 2001 under the name How was Tomorrow.[5] The pair toured with a backup band in the UK, Netherlands and the US in support of the album.[3]
Their second album, Phonebooth Tornado, came out in 2000.[2]
By the time their album A Brand New Night was released in 2003, the pair had toured extensively,[6][7] and were developing a more electric and pop-oriented sound.[8] They toured in support of the album in the US.[9]
Touring band
While on tour, the brothers travel with a backup band. Musicians who have toured with the Cash Brothers include Gord Tough, Randy Curnew, Paul Taylor and Todd Lumley.[3]
