The Brothers Four®
The Sound of America Singing

Bob Flick, Mark Pearson, Mike McCoy, Karl Olsen ...
Great friends making great music — that's the living legacy of The Brothers Four.

Legendary, pioneering voices from the "Great American Folk-Revival," The Brothers Four have become one of the longest-performing and best-selling musical groups in history. With original voices still on board, their fresh natural sound and instantly recognized harmonies continue to entertain audiences of all ages. Their Grammy and Oscar-nominated Greatest Hits will make you smile, and sing along and remember, and perhaps even revisit a dream or two.

Over 60 Years ... and Counting! Starting with their command performance at the JFK inauguration, they've sung for four U.S. presidents at the White House. They've been featured on PBS Specials, played thousands of college concerts, appeared at countless Community Concerts, performed with chorales and symphony orchestras and have traveled the globe, teaching the world to sing. They are truly "America's Musical Ambassadors to the World."

Million Sellers for The Brothers Four include such classic folk standards as "Greenfields," "This Land Is Your Land," "Try To Remember," "Yellow Bird," "Where Have All The Flowers Gone," "Shenandoah" and, "500 Miles." Their global hit recording of "The Green Leaves of Summer" from the motion picture "The Alamo" was nominated for an Academy Award and they performed the song on the Oscar awards international telecast.

The Brothers Four were there from the beginning, forever defining the sound and spirit that became the "Folk Era." Today their all-acoustic presentation continues with the sounds of guitars, banjo, upright bass, and of course the trademark rich blend of their four voices. An evening with this quartet is an unforgettable time of pure, timeless music, warm memories and joyful entertainment.

Remembering John Paine

As The Brothers Four now prepare for a new season of touring, we are taking this time, these moments to remember and share thoughts of our original member John Paine who passed away peacefully in November of last year. He will be greatly missed, but forever in our hearts. John leaves behind countless friends and world-wide fans who will always remember his kindness, puns, great stories, music and loving smile, along with his signature vocal performances like this, captured live on stage in Tokyo in 1996: John Paine /"Early Morning Rain": play_arrow pause
