The Brothers Comatose - live in Leamington Spa! Get ready for an epic evening of Americana with The Brothers Comatose and The Folly Brothers as support at The Assembly, Leamington Spa CV31 3NF on Thursday, 3 September 2026. Fusing old school string band instrumentation with rock and roll exuberance, The Brothers Comatose have cemented their status as standard bearers of a thriving, innovative West Coast roots movement on their intoxicating new album, Golden Grass – and we are over the moon to welcome them to the UK on a short tour this autumn. “My brother and I have a lot of respect for bluegrass,” explains guitarist/singer Ben Morrison, “but it was never in our blood. We were raised on California rock and folk and country music, so when we got our hands on some traditional acoustic instruments growing up, that’s just the energy and the attitude we naturally channeled. A fan started calling our sound Golden Grass, and the phrase just felt right.” Founded by Ben and Alex Morrison in 2008, The Brothers Comatose first emerged from San Francisco with their 2010 debut, Songs From The Stoop, which helped earn dates with the likes of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Greensky Bluegrass, and Trampled By Turtles. In the decade-and-a-half that followed, the critically acclaimed quintet would go on to release five more full-length LPs, rack up nearly 50 million streams, land festival slots at Outside Lands, High Sierra, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, tour with Lake Street Dive, The Devil Makes Three, and Yonder Mountain String Band, and build up a devoted following thanks to their raucous live shows and relentless schedule. The Brothers Comatose are supported for their Leamington Spa show by another fraternal outfit: The Folly Brothers are among the top UK-based bluegrass bands, with brothers Mark and Jonny Roden (acoustic guitar and banjo/guitar) and Wes Stanton (double bass) plus featured guest artists from the international bluegrass scene. Going down a storm on the international festival circuit, the band delves into a gritty and rootsy mélange full of sweeping licks, pumping bass lines and melodious harmonies. They successfully blend a modern country twang with a rollicking bluegrass style.
