Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank,
brothers Teague and Ian Thomas Alexy, are embarking on a 28 date tour of the Midwest and Southeast in support of their new full-length record Traveling Show.
Recorded in NYC, the brothers hone their blend of folk, blues, and rock and roll into a completely original vision on Traveling Show.
The music on the record finds new life in the live setting as Hobo Nephews put on emotionally charged high energy performances.
Blending lonesome vocal harmonies, freight train rhythms and primal blasts of electric guitar and harmonica Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank create a style of roots music that is all their own.
