Blackburn Brothers

The story of Blackburn Brothers is one of music, history, and deep familial roots. A band of brothers in the truest sense, their sound is forged in heritage, passion, and purpose, carrying the legacy of generations before them. Led by Duane (lead vocals, organ, piano), Brooke (guitar, vocals, songwriting), and Cory (drums, harmony vocals), the band also features their eldest brother Robert (guitar, vocal harmonies, songwriting) and cousin Nathan (bass guitar) on recent studio recordings. Their longtime horn section includes Neil Brathwaite (tenor saxophone) and Ted Peters (trombone), with Andrew Stewart as their touring bassist.

The brothers carry a musical lineage, tracing back to their father, Bobby Dean Blackburn, an R&B legend whose influence on the Toronto music scene has spanned over six decades. Their music is not just about sound—it’s about storytelling, heritage, and the spirit of the blues.
