How we started....

The Original Brotherhood

Our Band first formed in 1991 in Coop's garage studio located in Lindenhurst, where we froze all winter and boiled all summer. 

​

After many years of jamming, a core group emerged into what is now The Brotherhood.  

 

After playing a few private affairs, we decided to go out and self promote our music and stage personality. The result is a finely tuned band who's main goal is to entertain and have fun. With jokes aplenty and a constantly changing song menu, we hope to keep each and every show fresh and full of energy.  

 

With Coop at the Mic and JC on keyboards & rhythm guitar, the band continues to evolve through the years.  Our present line-up includes Mitch Hoffman ~bass, Rick Mars ~drums, Lynn Smith ~vocals and Rich Caliendo on lead guitar.   

​

Ever since those garage band days, JC and Coop continue to keep The Brotherhood alive and kickin’, playing our hearts out at local venues, working on new material and waiting for our big break so we can quit our day jobs!
