The Vancouver Province placed the Sumner Brothers' new record in their top 10 for 2008.
CBC Radio 3 has just added them to their play list.
Their music has been described as foot stompin, rockin,rustic-roots, country, folk and blues. Hailing from White Rock, brothers Brian and Bob Sumner have garnered an incredible amount of attention for the short amount of time they have been on the scene.
They have been placed on a compilation album with the likes of The Be Good Tanyas, Jolie Holland, and Sean Hayes.
Samantha Parton of The Be Good Tanyas has called The Sumner Brothers her "new favorite band".
Michael Leahy of the "cool as folk" radio show in Davis California has placed them in the "upper echelon of B.C. songwriters".
We are glad to have Bob and Brian be our first musical group when we opened the market in 2008 (actually it was Bob and a friend of his, we saw Brian later in the summer).
If we are lucky, we might get some samples of the new tunes for the upcoming album.
