As the
Shoemakers Brothers band continues to entertain crowds throughout Southern California, they are also appearing on various radio talk shows around the country discussing the interesting composition of the group, four real brothers, the striking sound they have created using classic and conventional instruments along with a striking ability to attract a loyal fan base. Nate appeared on the syndicated James Lowe Radio Show two weeks ago, and Sam did a taping with a local host, Ken Johannessen, from their home base in Washington State on Wednesday, July 24.
In similarity to their ability to switch instruments amongst all four brothers during a concert, so it is on radio show as each brother brings a singular yet collective message of the Shoemaker Brothers' strengths, talents and abilities.
Here is a Playlist Set that includes three interviews with Nate Shoemaker talking about the forming of the band, about their latest album Reflections, two of songs from that album, and what genre their unique sounds comprises.

Each Shoemaker Brother can play multiple instruments, such as guitar, piano, drums, bass, violin, and during a concert they are constantly switching roles, which brings freshness to each song that range from folk type ballads to high energy rock, from an Irish-Celtic type of sound to soul searching songs that paint a lilting picture of pain and hope. Sam, who served as a Marine in Iraq and participated in the massive Fallujah Campaign, in some ways is a de facto leader but the band actually comes as close to a true democracy that one can find. When sitting down to chat with all four Shoemaker Brothers, a feeling that all of them basically know what all the others are thinking or are about to say comes across.
Loyal fans and musicians love the band and their gigs are well attended throughout Southern California. The Brothers draw large crowds at all the major venues and are booked and re-booked constantly. They have played Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, Canyon Club, World Fest, Camarillo Festival, Oak's Music Nights. They have also opened for major acts like Little Feet, Loggins and Messina, Los Lobos, Canned Heat, all this in one short year. For an unknown band just arrived in Los Angeles this kind of progress in such a short time is phenomenal.
