The Bicho Brothers’ fresh, new sound is a blend of Classic Rock with the flavor of Latin Percussion that strikes just the right chord with audiences everywhere. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, The Bicho Brothers band is a group of music veterans who come together with a shared passion and desire to create great music and move audiences. “We started playing music because we loved it, then we did it for a living and learned to hate it. Now we’re playing again for the love of it,” says Chuck Nelson who founded the band in the fall of 2006. The unique combination of road-house blues guitar, pop keyboards and Latin percussion make for an amalgamation that can only be described as The Bicho Brothers Band.

Pearl Heart
Presented by The Drury Group
Family and Music, two of the most important and influential elements for the trio Pearl Heart, comprised of sisters Amy, Angela, and Courtney Krechel. The three sisters, who have been performing together for 13 years, are originally from St. Louis, MO. Their bone-chilling blend of sibling harmonies, combined with stellar musical talents, and honest lyrics make Pearl Heart a true gem. All three sisters sing and play instruments ranging from acoustic and electric guitars to 12-strings, mandolin’s and piano’s. Stemming from a musical family the girls grew up inspired by everything from the Eagles to the Hymns they would sing in Church, and the heart of those sounds are reflected in their music today. In 2006 the girls moved to Nashville, TN to actively pursue a musical career. The stars aligned for them in the summer of 2008 when they met award-winning Songwriter Jeffrey Steele. With his role as producer and songwriting partner, Steele took the trio under his wing and they began work on their debut release. What has emerged from the pairing is a stripped-down fresh organic sound, with powerful lyrics and vocals to boot.
