The album, which has since been certified platinum in the United States, produced two more number one singles in “These Are My People” and “Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)”.

Brushville

It was like watching a hockey game where the players changed, but the action and the game clock kept rolling.”

Brushville blends four extremely talented musicians, with incredible harmonies, an explosive stage show and a fresh, dynamic sound produced by an array of instruments to create an unforgettable experience for the audience.
