The Lough Brothers to Perform
at Marquee for First Friday Art Walk
The Lough Brothers will play at the Marquee
Performing Arts Center for the Frist Friday Art Walk on Friday, July 2 from
5:00pm to 7:00pm.
The Lough Brothers play all types of genres
with a lot of pop, country, and also alternative rock. In addition to doing
songs by Ryan Tedder, Sam Smith, Bruno Mars, to name a few, they also perform
their own original music. In their eight years playing together as a band,
Mason, Hunter and Brodee have played across Kansas and in venues like The
Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. In an interview with Marquee, the brothers said
they enjoy “focusing on a lot of harmonizations. High energy songs, the crowd
singing along, and getting to talk to everyone afterwards are really what
lights us up.” Mason, a college sophomore majoring in environmental biology,
plays the piano, acoustic and electric guitar, saxophone, and ukulele. Hunter,
who will be a high school junior, plays the acoustic and bass guitar as well as
piano, trumpet, French horn, and ukulele. Brodee, an upcoming eighth grader,
plays drums, guitar, ukulele, and box drum. Starting to play piano when he was
about 3, Mason, along with Hunter, who “has never been shy and always finds the
stage,” began making music together at a local talent show performing Blake
Shelton’s song “Honey Bee,” and walked away with first place. Brodee saw his
older brothers “go at it for many years, decided to try music and immediately
loved it too.” Living together, the brothers obviously have a bond, so practice
can happen at any time and when one gets inspiration there’s help a room away.
“Writing is always a great process because of the wide range of instruments we
can use and the ability to have help if we want.” The brothers write their own
music and have released two songs, “Love Faking Girl” and “This Could Be Us” on
Apple Music and Spotify. The virus has slowed down performances, but the
brothers are now “picking back up performances and seeing everyone we used to
see,” they explained. “Everyone coming to see us for the first time is also a
great motivator, and one of the reasons we do it. We love it and hope everyone
else enjoys it too.”
The Marquee Performing Arts Center welcomes
audiences to come enjoy The Lough Brothers music, with candy, a soda bag of
popcorn. There is no admittance charge, but tips and donations are requested
for The Lough Brothers. Audiences are also encouraged to make donations to the
Marquee for concessions.
