Boasting a mix of alt-country roots, Northwest pride, and dueling guitar vs violin solos, The Brooders deliver smart songs about life in the Northwest. Led by singer-songwriter Jay Waltmunson and drummer Matt Galloway, The Brooders are known for their stage banter and audience-inclusive interactions.

With guitars, piano keys, violin, bass, and drums (played with brushes that can still get you to cut a rug), The Brooders entertain with great musicianship, multiple harmonies, and well written songs. Their original music stands out with its sing-along melodies while the songwriting fully embraces (and yet lovingly pokes at) life in the Northwest and all that we hold dear.

"Thank goodness! Our very own Northwest Americana with a twang!", exclaimed one crazed, super-fan. All original music with sing-alone melodies, the songwriting fully embraces (and yet still lovingly pokes at) life in the Northwest.
