THE SOLOMON BROTHERS: SIMPLY THE BEST! The Nachman (Lead Vocal, Guitar), Yosef (Bass Guitar, Vocals) and Sruli (Mandolin, Vocals) Soloman have been playing music together since they started walking and talking. They are the three youngest brothers of seven children in the multi-instrumentalist, highly talented Soloman family. Music was a central and ever present force in the family, an intrinsic part of their childhood that inspired a deep joy which continues to be reflected throughout their lives today. Father, Ben Tzion Solomon performed in various Bluegrass bands in California and then, after moving to Israel, started the first Jewish Rock n Roll band called the Diaspora Yeshiva band. Releasing 10 albums, they had several hit records like 'Live in King David's Tomb' and 'The Land of Fathers'. Ben Tzion had always wanted to play music with his sons so he started 'The Ben Tzion Solomon and Sons Band' with the eldest few. When the younger brothers started gaining in talent and experience, it was time for them to join in the fun. At one point all 7 brothers performed in the Ben Tzion Solomon and Sons Band, touring together, releasing records and receiving wide acclaim and a loyal fan base. During this period, Noah formed 'Soulfarm', Yosef performed in 'Moshav Band' and Nachman created 'Hamakor'. All of them achieved success, releasing records and touring Europe, The USA, Israel and Canada. In 2013, Nachman returned from a tour when a friend casually suggested he enter 'The Voice Israel.' He did so and was immediately accepted to perform. The Voice were creating 'Mishpacha Hofa'ah' and The Solomon Brother's Band was born. Just under 1 year later, after 26 episodes and 150 bands the Solomon Brother Band reached the competition final.The combination of their dynamic musical influences include the folk of Bob Dylan, Neil Young & Mumford & Sons, as well as Reggae and Israeli Folk. They weave these together to create their own brand of Bluegrass and Spiritually infused Folk-Rock. As Nachman says “The pure joy of this project is fantastic – to share the stage with my brothers, write together and share our music which comes as a result of our deep understanding of each other as Brothers”
