Brothers Chaffey have finished recording

Formed
in 2004 the Brothers Chaffey are a roots rock n' roll band hailing from
Ottawa, Ontario. The sibling team of Matthew (lead vocals/guitar), and
younger brother Curtis (lead guitar/vocals) have been performing
together for 10 years in various acts. Since 2005, the Brothers Chaffey
have performed consistently with Dave Macdonald (bass) and Nick Diak
(drums) as their rhythm section and the foundation to the band's sound.
More recently the band has expanded their line-up by adding a new
member, Adam Puddington (guitar/vocals). This driving version of the
band delivers powerful rhythms and a distinct groove.
The vitality and intensity of their music has
earned the Brothers Chaffey a reputation for up-tempo, dancehall, rock
n' roll shows. They have toured from coast to coast and maintained a
solid fan base in Halifax, Toronto and Ottawa in support of their first
record release Harbord Street Soul. During 2008/09 the Brothers
collaborated with engineer/producer Ken Friesen (Tragically Hip/the
Sadies) to create Bloodlines, their second full length LP and their
most rock n' roll sound to date.
