The Balkun Brothers are an incendiary, hard-rocking duo hailing from Connecticut, known for their electrifying blend of heavy blues, rock, and funk. Comprised of siblings Nick and Steve Balkun, the two brothers infuse their music with a raw and gritty edge, flavored by an evident passion for both the technical and emotional aspects of their craft. Steve typically mans the guitar and takes on lead vocal duties, while Nick anchors the rhythm section with powerful drum work. Their high-energy performances and innovative sound have earned them a reputation as a must-see live act.

With releases like "735 Farmington Ave" and "Spiders On My Head," the Balkun Brothers showcase their ability to infuse traditional blues-rock with a modern sensibility that attracts fans from multiple generations. Their interpretation of "Icky Thump" displays a unique reverence for classic rock roots while pushing the boundaries with their distinctive style. The Balkun Brothers' penchant for playful song titles like "Jack The Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots" and "Paris Penthouse Party" hints at their creative approach and dynamic stage presence. This creativity is further exemplified in tracks like "Here Comes the End of the World" and "Death (By) Bear," which demonstrate their knack for storytelling through music. Despite their family ties, it's their unyielding energy and innovative fusion of genres that truly define the Balkun Brothers as a powerful force in the contemporary rock scene.
