Brothers and Sisters is a band out of time. Led by real-life siblings Will and Lily Courtney, their music entirely lacks the calculated cool of contemporary indie rock and seems totally oblivious to the cynical machinations of the music business. The siblings are the children of Ragan Courtney and Cynthia Clawson, respectively a Baptist preacher and a Grammy-winning independent gospel artist dubbed “The Christian Barbra Streisand,” both for her voice and for her support of the Christian gay community. When he was six, the Courtney parents took young Will to a Beach Boys concert, and it was over—he decided to become a musician. As a kid, he sang in Houston’s Post Oak Boy’s Choir and before long was recording songs for children’s’ records and commercials. When he was old enough to get out of Houston, Will headed to L.A.—home of his idols the Beach Boys, Love, and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Today, Brothers and Sisters has grown into a ten member band, performing all over the country. Brothers and Sisters bask in the same golden sunshine as the Mamas and The Papas and the Byrds, but the Austin-based collective also mines that era’s darker side, combining sugar-sweet harmonies with foreboding, gloomy lyrics.
