The Lomeo Brothers still startle hardcore blues listeners with their authenticity and musical skill. As a duo, their mastery of blues, jazz standards and contemporary classics makes them perfect for coffeehouses and dinner clubs. The Lomeo Brothers broke into the music scene with intensity at Woodstock 99 when Adam (guitar) was 12 and Matt (vocals and harmonica) was 10, making them the youngest performers ever invited to a Woodstock Festival, where MTV filmed their performance. They also shared stages with blues standouts Little Charlie & the Nightcats and Sugar Blue.

Although Matt is just 17 and Adam 19, their accomplishments are nothing short of amazing. They always receive an overwhelming response from captivated audiences. Matt and Adam have a serious commitment to their musical careers, and their focus is live performance engagements at events and festivals.
Adam is currently a guitar major in the acclaimed William Paterson University Jazz Performance program, while Matt attends Proctor High in Utica, NY. Adam studies with guitarist Gene Bertoncini (who has performed with Buddy Rich, Tony Bennett and Nancy Wilson) and pianist Mulgrew Miller (a former member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and the Tony Williams Quintet.)

The Chenango Blues Festivals featured them three years running. They also opened for The Iguanas, Chris Beard, Joe Beard and John Mooney. This year, they opened for Coca Montoya in a show sponsored by the Mohawk Valley Blues Society. Matt and Adam are both active members of the MV Blues society.
