The Talbott Brothers hail from the heartland of Imperial, Nebraska, a rural Midwest town near the Colorado and Kansas border. They write songs that feel lived in, honest and unapologetic, drawing from their blue collar upbringing and authenticity. Brothers Nick and Ty Talbott have built a name for themselves with their soul stirring lyrics, sibling blood harmonies, and rich melodies that represent the ebbs and flows of love, loss and life.
After relocating to the Pacific Northwest, they hit the road relentlessly with their band, building a loyal following and reputation for emotionally charged, high-energy live shows driven by raw storytelling and brother banter. Their music captured the attention of major outlets like, Rolling Stone who praised their sound as “cinematic folk-rock for open highways,” Billboard highlighting their “haunting brotherly harmonies,” and The Boot naming them as a must-listen “for fans of John Mayer, Mumford & Sons, and Jason Isbell.”
The band’s latest album, Borderlands, has been praised by Holler as “raw and unapologetic,” marking a new chapter that leans into vulnerability, growth, and the tension between where you’re from and where you’re headed. With millions of streams, sold out tours, and festival appearances across the U.S., The Talbott Brothers continue to carve out their own lane, connecting deeply with audiences who find themselves still figuring things out.

Emmanuel “James” Beam. Born in Liberia West Africa, adopted into the Great PNW to an amazing family whose Mama and Dad raised me right! “God & Country”. My love for country music came from my dad. I started playing his guitar when I was 12 years old. At age 15 I found I had a voice to go with it and it’s brought me to this place. I am steadfast in staying true to the real sound of country and to one day make my way to the Grand ole Opry stage.
