Dearly Brothers believed in honest music. The group started with the goal of creating Folk Music with moving melodies and true heart. This remained the objective.

Vian Zaayman: Vian sings and sometimes plays an instrument. Born and raised in South Africa, he brings the stupid African folk stories and traditions to the group.

Joseph Kenkel: He is the cute one in the group. He plays guitar, mandolin, harmonica. Joey finds his roots in traditional American music: Bob Dylan, etc.

Phillip Englehart: Phillip also plays many instruments including guitar and piano. He also designs and maintains DB's online sites. He's also Canadian. Take it or leave it.

Chris Worley: Chris plays drums and other percussion instruments. He also helps with the mixing and engineering of the tunes.

Drake Morey: Drake plays piano and programs synthesizers for the band. He also mixes and engineers the tunes.

Trevor Nikrant: Trevor, the newest Dearly Brother, plays bass and sometimes guitar. He was born somewhere in America and will let you know where as soon as he remembers.

Other Noteworthy Companions

Sam Pinkerton: Sam is an awesome singer/songwriter who is kind enough to record on some of the tunes. Check out her other tunes here: http://www.facebook.com/someoneliketommy

Theo Miesner: Theo is very intelligent. We can tell because he uses words/phrases such as “neat”, “pretty excellent”, and “most definitely” in his regular vocabulary. He films and helps record everything that Dearly Brothers comes up with.
