DRBE
DRBE is an eclectic mix of bluegrass, folk, rock, blues and a touch of jazz originating from Millersville, Pennsylvania where the three members met as friends. As many party goers know, a party is usually more fun with some live music. All three played music at least recreationally, and were often called upon to entertain at parties. Eventually, Dan Cook, Dave Abramson and Dave Brey decided to pool their musical talents and see if something would germinate. During the fall of 2002 the three friends would congregate on Tuesday evenings for a little jam session. Immediately, the three clicked, and the standard format for the DRBE lineup was solidified: Dan on Banjo, Dave A. on mandolin, and Dave B. on guitar. As the group continued to play together, they were asked more frequently to pick up their instruments and play a few tunes to get the party started. A love for music and fun, a desire to create and entertain, and a realization that a lot of people really enjoy a beverage and a band spurred DRBE to take their show out of the living rooms and straight to the masses. They bring the party with them wherever they go, and DRBE would love to bring their party to your establishment.
