Little Steely Brothers pay tribute to the classic hits of Little River Band, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers and Eagles.

Whilst we are a “Tribute Band”, we are not impersonators. There are no spangled costumes, or wigs, just 6 seasoned professional musicians who put our effort into sounding as much like the original bands as we can!

The idea of bringing together the sounds of some of the classic West Coast American Rock bands with our own

Little River Band was brought into being by a group of friends whose musical careers have been interlinked for more than three decades. A musical friendship like this that develops early and continues over decades is a rare thing. With up to 6 strong vocal harmony voices, duelling lead guitars, classic Keyboards, and a solid rhythm section, the band is easily considered one of the best in their genre. They handle the challenging task of reproducing the sounds of these popular bands with class and professionalism.
