Brothers Dana and Alden McWayne(Opens in a new window), along with a troupe of multi-instrumental artists, come together to create jazzy, neo-soul melodies inspired by their unconventional upbringing in Eugene, Oregon. Their debut EP, Brothers, is an amalgamation of their childhood, melding memories of summer days spent working at an apple orchard, and rainy winter nights where they jammed at cozy jazz clubs. These retrospective moments are channeled through the lens of their wide-ranging influences; from Ahmad Jahmal to Tom Misch to Bad Bunny. Alden, the younger of the two, is a drummer and student at Berklee College of Music, while Dana, the elder statesman, is a saxophonist and organic farm inspector in Durham, NC.
