The Brook & The Bluff

Established in Birmingham, AL, The Brook & The Bluff are a four-man band that have been traveling and recording music since late 2016. The group consists of frontman Joseph Settine, drummer John Canada, guitarist Alec Bolton and bassist Fred Lankford. The guys have quickly become recognized for their evocative blend of instrumental talent and vocal harmony. These elements are readily apparent in the band's first single, “Masks.” Released in September of 2016, the song has helped spur the band forward in their musical pursuits.

The group's first full year as a full band has been widely successful. From charting on Spotify's US and Canada Viral 50 Playlists, performing at the NAMM shows in both Nashville and Anaheim, and selling out shows in Birmingham, Atlanta and Nashville, the band has had an exhilarating 2017. At present, The Brook & The Bluff continue to travel, spin their musical spells, and reach out to a wider audience. The band’s debut self-titled album is coming soon!

Originally an acoustic duo in 2015, Alec and Joseph started turning heads with clean vocals and expert guitar work. In the spring of 2016, John Canada noticed the talent and potential of the duo and offered to play drums and sing with the guys. Soon after, he officially joined the group, expanding their sound with driving rhythm and an added voice. The trio instantly locked in and have been playing together ever since. With new bassist Fred Lankford, The Brook & The Bluff relocated to Nashville, TN at the start of 2018.
