Press Info "There probably needs to be a new name for that genre of late '90s pop personified by the Barenaked Ladies, the melding of quirky lyrics with acoustic roots and a ready-for-radio upbeat sound. Until such a moniker comes around, it'll suffice to say that the Scharff Brothers (Adam And his brother) fit the unnamed category perfectly. Their addictive hooks and strong sense of sibling harmony keep the format fresh, helping to explain why this specific sound keeps coming back." ~Tray Butler~ Creative Loafing/Atlanta, GA "Catchy guitar melodies, quirky lyrics and lush vocal and guitar harmonies spouted continuously 'the engaging album pulls the listener from beginning to end, drawing from a variety of pop music including Barenaked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls and Fastball' this band, playing its mix of pop and rock, could easily fall into the tapestry of music heard today on commercial radio stations across the country."

Bio Somewhere between the luscious chord play of the Beatles, and the humor of the Barenaked Ladies, you will find The Scharff Brothers, a full fledged alt/pop/rock-n-roll world wrapped in the skin of a couple of brothers with guitars. After having appeared on the nationally syndicated Donny and Marie show in 1999, the Brothers released a 6 song EP including the song "Scary (Christopher Walken)". In August of 2001 that song was included on the "A Low Watt Document" compilation from Atlanta-based Shut Eye Records and has received hefty spins on college radio throughout the US and Canada. MTV and the WB have also licensed a version of "Scary", recorded by their co-writing friend Heidi Stone, in 2003 and 2004. The brothers have played for crowds of over 2500 people from Portland to Boston to New York to Philadelphia. They currently have an artist endorsement deal with Godin Guitars. Known for insightful/quirky songwriting with catchy groove-based arrangements, their live shows have been hailed by many as a "must see", and have gained them a very loyal following along the East Coast. With tight musical interplay and comical, non-sequitur between-song chats, a Scharff Brothers concert is an event, not just another show.
