Think back to a time of porch swings and simpler things. The pace slower – the tempo easier. The back-porch beats of the Flat River Band have harmonized their way into the hearts of many Americans. Originally from Fredericktown, Missouri the born to sing Sitze Brothers started as a family band with Dad on rhythm guitar and Mom on lead vocals. A fan favorite at blue grass festivals and numerous other amusement parks, the Flat River Band - Chad, Dennijo, and Andy Sitze have picked their way through their blue-grass, gospel roots to create their own established sound. The trilogy of brothers are writing lyrics that are not shy of depth, intellect or meaning. Their strong family ties not only resonate in their harmonies but also in their lyrics. The guitar, bass, and mandolin capture the identity of each brother but when played together a pulse is heard with three different beats, three different personalities, three different rhythms, playing, harmonizing, and modulating.
