Before they even hit a chord, the Royal Southern Brotherhood has your attention. In the US South, where music is religion, two rock ‘n’ roll bloodlines tower above all others. In the saloon bars from Mississippi to Maryland, mere mention of the Allman and Neville Brothers casts a magic spell.

Conversation falls silent. Pool balls stop rolling. Ten-gallon hats are tipped in respect and beer-bottles raised in salute. These aren't just bands, they’re gods, and with a lineup comprising both the iconic Cyril Neville and Devon Allman, the Royal Southern Brotherhood come pre-loaded with expectations.

Some say rock ‘n’ roll is dead, but they are wrong. Right now, in 2012, there’s something in the air, as the Royal Southern Brotherhood drag their thrilling new brand of blues-rock and white-hot musicianship from the Southern States onto the world stage. The South is rising again. Come along for the ride. For more information about the Royal Southern Brotherhood visit www.royalsouthernbrotherhood.com.
