Remember the days when you used to sit cross-legged on the kitchen floor with your siblings, dinging holes in Mum’s spaghetti pot with wooden spoons? Many of us didn’t advance past this rudimentary percussion stage. Those that did may have gone on to make a band like JEFF The Brotherhood.Tennessee brothers Jake and Jamin are coming out in December to play their charming DIY punk ditties at Meredith Music Festival. And by DIY, we mean that their guitar only has three strings. What they lack in complete instruments, they make up in enthusiasm. Plus, they're also mega cute.
