They started as a gentle and folky acoustic duo called Fir, but Frances and Joey progressed in their tastes and wanted to play music they could really sink their teeth into. So they called upon their long time friend and drummer Rob Pugliari, and the cute but vulgar bassist Erik Kolomayz. From the moment they strummed the first few chords they knew it was meant to be. And there you have, the birth of The Rathburns. The Rathburns is a 4 piece blues rock band looking to sooth your soul and make you bang your head all at the same time.
