"The top-off Bluesfest act had to be the Brothers Dube who were totally cool on the mammoth stage... they may reach the top of the charts before they reach puberty." - The Ottawa Citizen "... they rock, they jam and they don't stop... you're going to hear big things from these guys...." - 97.7 CHOM FM "...mature beyond their years" - CFRA "These kids really kick ass" - Hollerado "...a talented group of guys with the ability to play music in ways beyond their years. They are a high-energy and fun-filled breath of fresh air." - The Odds "The Brothers Dube have been drawing big crowds -- and music sensations like Arcade Fire -- to their late-night busking shows..." - The Ottawa Citizen "...much more than just incredible performers..." - CBC Television "It's ridiculous how good these kids are!" - The Morning Show "...a band that represents what good music is truly all about -- passion, persistence, and playing for a cause; pillars that many older artists tend to forget." - SuperNova "a pre-teen music sensation using their passion to help others." - CTV "Truly inspiring." - Arcade Fire "The crowd around them was loving it so much I had to stay and watch the entire show" - Bob FM "...devout rockers with with both the instrumental skills and musical merits needed to take them to the top." - SuperNova "They may not be old enough to get a job, but with the way things are going they may never need one. They packed the place to capacity as they played well past their bedtime." - Centertown News "The Senators popular new in-house band!" - The Ottawa Sun "Awesome!" - Sass Jordan Even though the Brothers Dube are young, they are talented and devoted beyond their years. Liam (13), Jan (12) and ten year-old Quinn have rocked the charity world by busking and raising over $100,000 for Haiti Relief, Breast Cancer research, and children's organizations who have benefited from the efforts of these fine youngsters. They've shared bills with Sean Paul and Kymani Marley and performed live with artists such as Arcade Fire, Hollerado, and recently on the Holiday Train with The Odds. This led to having a song on a soon to be gold record featuring Barenaked Ladies, Melanie Doan along with guest appearances by Colin James and Rob Baker. This helped bring the total raised to $5.6 million dollars, and 2.45 million pounds of food for north american food banks. The Brothers Dube got their start in music in Ottawa, Canada in 2006 at the ages of 6, 8 and 10 after posting covers of their mother's favorite songs on Youtube as a means of keeping her spirits up while she fought cancer. Shortly after her death, they began fundraising. Recipients of the prestigious CAYFO award for their contribution to arts and culture, they continue to inspire other kids to make a change in their communities. Their influences include Pink Floyd, U2, Rush, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Black Sabbath and Metallica. For more information you can visit their website at www.brothersdube.com. "...musicians that are "tuned in" to the plight of others" "What were YOU doing when you were 9???" "Finally! A brother band that plays their own instruments and they're not even in high school!!" "The hardest working band in Ottawa" "I haven't seen genuine rock and roll like that in a long time" "I felt like I was watching the Jackson 5 playing on the street" "it's one of those really good stories we never get quite enough of..."
