The Mallett Brothers Band came to Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, Massachusetts on October 6, 2023. This show was part of their current fall tour. They are an independent band from Maine. Their busy tour schedule since forming in 2009 has helped them to build a dedicated fanbase across the United States and beyond. With a style that ranges from alt-country to Americana, country, jam and roots rock, theirs is a musical melting pot that’s influenced equally by the singer/songwriter tradition as by harder rock, classic country and psychedelic sounds.
