Short History of The Knight Brothers

The Knight Brother's started out in the path carved for them by their father's country gospel group. It too was "The Knight Brothers” An Appalachian harmony trio that could melt your ear wax every time they broke out in an accapela part. That’s where the boys picked up their understanding of harmony and music in general. With the oldest brother Chuck, who was later killed in a work accident at 17, directing the boys and leading the band, they traveled up and down the East Coast singing and selling records and tapes from the carpeted van they often used as a hotel. They sold over 10,000 records without any airplay at the time. They were on a roll when they abruptly lost not only their band leader, but their oldest brother.

After the devastation the boys shut down for a while. In the end they found that the one thing that made them feel alive and keep them strong as a family was singing together, so they entered a contest for country music. The won local, state, and the regional competition and found themselves being televised while competing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry where they would take second place in the nation. This launched the boys in the direction of song writing, performing and sharing the stage with Country Music's biggest artists. The latest project they have titled "Mile Markers". This particular musical mile marker consists of 9 originals, 3 songs from musical associates and a remake of the Doobie Brother's hit, "Listen to the Music."
