The Rockwells: Tommy, Fred, Trace, and Jonathan

The Rockwells from Knoxville, Tennessee, are two sets of of brothers: Fred (lead vocals, bass)and Jonathan (lead vocals, guitar) Kelly, and Tommy (lead guitar, organ) and Trace (drums) Bateman. Their album, Place and Time, recorded in Knoxville and Memphis, will be released on December 2. Numerous recording locations were used, including various houses, a cabin, and local rock club The Pilot Light.

The brothers produce highly melodic compositions that feel loose and mild, but are actually disciplined and direct. Jonathan's and Fred's vocals blend together gorgeously over the guitars and keys in "Microkorg." And next week when you're watching football, remember story of "The Quarterback," the one who never went back to the game, and others whose dreams are broken.
