Music
Brothers United
Brothers United is the premiere reggae bands in South Florida. With all of its members boasting over 35 years in the music industry, their groove is unmistakable.
On drums and lead vocals, Bradley Brown hails from Nassau, Bahamas and has one of the smoothest sounds out there today. In his career, he has had the pleasure to tour with Mikey Spice, Tinga Stewart, Sanchez, Screw Driver, Kashief Lindo, John Holt and Calton Coffie. He also collaborated on the rhythm that produced Morgan Heritage “Work to Do”, Sizzla’s “Woman I Need You”, Gentleman’s “Dem Gone” and platinum plaque winning Akon’s “Mama Africa”.
On keyboard and lead vocals, Errol “Gershi” Greaves also grew up in the Bahamas, but his parents’ Jamaican roots were always in his blood. He plays several different instruments, and has toured the world with Culture, Third World, Marcia Griffith, Dennis Brown, Beres Hammon and several of the Marley brothers. He also has two albums of his own as well as a collaboration with his brothers, who are also both musicians.
On bass and background vocals, Lynford Roberts brings his talents all the way from Antigua, where he learned his love of music from his uncle. He too has toured the world with many of the best in the business, including Burning Flames, Calypso Rose, Mighty Sparrow, Singing Francine and Barron.
And last, but certainly not least, is lead guitarist and background vocalist, Duwayne Hoilett. With 37 years in the music business, he honed his talents with legends like King Yellow Man and Sly & Robbie and has recorded with Morgan Heritage and Freddie Jackson to name a few. In addition to being a member of Brothers United, he is also currently working with Luciano.
