The Wooten Brothers’ first public performance occurred in Hawaii in 1966 and established their identity as prodigies. Since then, Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers (brothers Regi, Roy, and Joseph) have racked up ten GRAMMY wins, and twenty-six nominations. The youngest of the family, Victor, the brother who learned from all his older brothers, has been named one of the ten greatest bass players of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine.As a family band, they are second to none. The Brothers' music bends and defines genres; amplifies centuries, and spans continents. The Wooten Brothers began playing R&B before expanding to jazz, jazz fusion, classical, and country. They emerged in 1985 on Arista Records with their release, The Wootens, combining electronic music, funk, soul, disco, and boogie – offering only a sliver of the Wooten whole. The Wooten whole is all of that…and classical, and jazz, and country, and rock-and-roll. Connecting a musically deep past to a musical future, The Wooten Brothers build bridges across genres. Bar by bar, in live performances and on recordings, they provide an exhilarating ‘connects-you-to-the-center-of-the-universe’ sound.
