The Flying Burrito Brothers: Folk Ensemble in New York

About The Flying Burrito Brothers

The Flying Burrito Brothers emerged in Los Angeles in 1968 and helped define country rock at the moment it was taking shape, with Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman at the center of the early lineup. Their first recordings set a template for blending honky-tonk structures with rock rhythm and harmony. The group has since cycled through many configurations, continuing in later years under the Burrito Brothers name. In New York City, their legacy turns up on stages like the Knitting Factory, including tribute bills such as SUNDAY SERVICE: Sin City, where the emphasis is on songs over spectacle.
