Other Brother Darryl, has a style and sound that sounds perfect anytime , anyplace. It is a sound and vibe that is uniquely their own and it is on display front and center on “Peaceful Alibi “

Peaceful Alibi,” an inviting new Americana single from the mighty Other Brother Darryl , today (Friday, March 6. ) A sonic compass for life’s winding navigation, and the determination that ultimately delivers appreciation, it’s the band’s first new music since last year’s acclaimed debut album Roll Shine Roll, and sets a tone for forthcoming sophomore record Hey Yeah Hey, due in June.

Shortly after the release of “Peaceful Alibi,” Other Brother Darryl’s creative road takes them to The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge on March 27, followed by a pair of notable spring festival appearances: The Town And The City Festival in Lowell in May, and a return in June to the New England Americana Festival at Medfield’s Bellforge Arts Center. 

“Personally, it speaks to how you can feel overwhelmed by all of what’s going on in life,” says acoustic guitarist and co-vocalist Nate Leavitt. “When facing what seems like a mountain of problems, you can either go over or under that obstacle. While going around may seem easier, climbing up that mountain forces us to face challenges head on and builds our character. True, it’s a longer journey getting to the top, but once you’re there, the view is much clearer. This band has always been about appreciating the journey and turning these types of moments into milestones.”

This song is a reminder that a lot can be learned from the process and that we’re no different from anyone else when it comes to facing adversity,” Leavitt notes. “But no matter which road you take, it’s never too far to go.”

Longtime collaborator and Other Brother Darryl co-vocalist, percussionist, and producer Dan Nicklin agrees, adding that the song is about pushing past the hurdles life throws at us to find a certain type of peace, and how we are able to do so because it’s simply the right thing to do. 

The players in the room have been shaping the delicate and deliberate Other Brother Darryl sound since their inception the past decade or so, where a group of friends bonded at a long-gone Boston rock club over a shared love of The Jayhawks, Wilco, and true authentic artistry, the type of harmony-driven Americana sound that feels both intimate and personal… not to mention the TV show Newhart, where the group traces its moniker. 

Joining Leavitt and Nicklin in the current shape of Other Brother Darryl are Dan Cederholm (drums); Derek Feeney (acoustic guitar); Chad Raleigh (multi-instrumentalist); Jim Collins (bass, vocals); Dave Lieb (piano, vocals); Matt Odabashian (organ); and Dave Mirabella, a co-founder and beloved brother who provides spiritual guidance from the other side after passing away in 2022.
