The Dubious Bros.

Based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire,The Dubious Bros. are a band of five playing
a variety of music from the 20's to the new century; jug band, old blues, soul,
R&B, R&R, hints of C&W, reggae, Blues Brothers covers, world music and folk,
and more and more written by us.

We enjoy working with Ami.
Although we all write our own music, we have a similar attitude to covers.
We both like to change them and make them our own - we are not slaves to the original versions.

There is plenty to dance to but also music for listening, including our own songs.

The band plays birthdays, weddings, parties, town functions and sometimes sponsors its own gigs.
