Hermanos Gutierrez at First Ave, Minneapolis (11 May 2024)

When you go to a show you’re hoping to be inspired by instrumental talents, a voice, or just general musical collaborations. At the
historic First Avenue, two Swiss brothers called Hermanos Gutiérrez did exactly that too a sold-out crowd. No opening band, just a local DJ, Miguel Vargas.



Alejandro and Estevan Gutierrez are eight years apart but have been mastering guitar since a very young age. A jam session back in 2015 in Zurich made these two poised to transform into musical icons.



In 2022 they had the privilege of working with the legendary Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. During the First Ave show this past weekend
they dedicated and played plenty of tracks from that album and gave a big shout out the one and only Clint Eastwood.



I usually don’t feel like I’m climbing a mountain or floating on ocean at the same time but Hermanos took me to another side of the world. Most
of the tracks during their set had incredible build ups with Alejandro mostly on lap steel slide guitar and Estevan switching off between
bongos and electric guitar.



“Low Sun” has to be my favorite track of the new EP release Until We Meet Again out April 11th, 2024. They played that whole EP, and a good amount of tracks from El Bueno Y El Malo (2022) and Eternamente (2021). My calendar is marked for their much anticipated 2024 release on June 14th, titled Sonido Cosmico.



These brothers have a bright future ahead of the and have movie soundtrack written all over them on every release they put out. Wish I could have invited these guys over after the show for a second jam session around a big bonfire. Hermanos Gutierrez deserved every standing ovation they got at First Ave on Saturday night. Let’s hope they come back to Minnesota soon.
