The Tuten Brothers

The Tuten Brothers is an up-and-coming country band from Athens, GA that seems to have a fire and a passion in its sound that country music hasn't seen in years. Inspired by classic country and rock 'n' roll, Brothers Walker and Sam Tuten are the dynamic and energetic frontmen of the group, and their longtime friend Connor McAdams plays the drums.

Hailing from the city most well known as the home of chart-topping bands like R.E.M. and B-52s, The Tuten Brothers seem to be inspired by the legacy of their town. They've already made a big splash in the Athens and Atlanta music scenes, playing for packed houses at the iconic 40 Watt Club and the Georgia Theatre after the release their debut single, 'Southern Sunrise', which had a 10-week stint on 94.9 The Bull.

After the success of Southern Sunrise, which they recorded in a spare bedroom of their cousins house in Athens, GA, the band took to the studio to record an album in Nashville, TN with Alex Gilson of Gold Cassette Productions. They released their self-titled EP on October 15 with a headlining album release show at the Georgia Theatre. The EP includes their second single "Why You Gotta" and fan favorite "Sarah."

"The four songs that make up the album show a wide variety of influence, from heart-wrenching ballads to pure country tunes to bluegrass. Beautifully-written themes of love and love lost, life, traveling, and freedom captivate the listener in a way little music does nowadays." - The Odyssey
