It would be very difficult to list all the shows Brothers 3 has had since its beginning. We have met many wonderful people over the last few years and experienced the full range of performance situations, both pleasant and unpleasant. Nevertheless, being a part of such a great group of souls makes any burden easy to bear. Here are a few highlights from our times together:

 FESTIVALS
