The Brothers Gruff Bio
"THE BROTHERS GRUFF" were together from 2005-2007. You might see them play once a year at a local Pennsylvania club.
Simply put, Dave Devlin & the Brothers Gruff signature sound is organic and raw. It can be compared to that of an early Elvis Costello, Radiohead and the ever so rockin’ Clash. Their song palette ranges from Top 40 Pop to College Alternative yet finds a way to defy such labels. Like the Beatles, Dave Devlin & the Brothers Gruff likes to mix styles and tempos to instigate a novel breed of sounds, which has been demonstrated on Dave’s freshman release and their sophomore release, The Stand, out now on Gravity Records. Dave currently tours venues from clubs to colleges to festivals within the Northeastern U.S. and amasses an eclectic audience of notable size wherever he plays.
