Live Music: Brother & the Hayes

Brother and The Hayes, comprised of siblings David Bingaman and Jennie Hayes Kurtz, hail from Dallas, Texas. Growing up, Jennie Hayes honed her vocal skills in choir, while David taught himself guitar, drawing inspiration from blues legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lightnin’ Hopkins.

Jennie Hayes and David grew up in a home filled with diverse musical influences. Their mother loved jazz, big band, and 1940s music, while their father favored 1970s rock and roll, including bands like Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, Pure Prairie League, and The Doobie Brothers. Despite their differences, the family found common ground in 90s country, Bob Wills, and George Strait.
