A Biography of The Brotherhood
A Brief History
Beck's Brotherhood was conceived and born in the spring of 2023. Spearheaded by vocalist and bass player, Keven "Kfunk" Beck, and drummer Mike Marsiglia. After several guitar auditions, the rhythm section found great band mates with slide man, Tim Herman, and lead guitar man, Joe Prussing.
Joe Prussing was later replaced by Kfunks long time friend, and guitar god Bart "The Bartman" Baker.
The concept is simple:
Create a band with a fresh approach to performing the best of the great rock tunes from every era and decade of rock history.
In Pursuit of that vision, , It became something greater than originally perceived.
A brotherly bond centered in sound. With each player having their own passion and taste of music. It is an honor, duty, and privilege for all the groove family to fulfill each others vision in song, which makes it fun and exciting for all. It is the pursuit of the perfect performance. It has been the tenacity, persistence, hard work, and celebration involved that has helped define this band... this friendship...
This Brotherhood!
