New York City brothers The Contes are a rare breed: musician/singer/songwriters that make great records of their own, yet are often called upon to work with many of the music industry's greats, including Paul Simon, David Bowie, Joan Osborne, Ian Hunter, Maceo Parker, Peter Wolf, and Billy Squier.
Influenced by The Beatles, Philly soul, Bob Dylan, bubble gum pop and Led Zeppelin, the Contes wrote and recorded their first "album" in their living room at ages nine and ten*. Big brother Stevie played drums a la Ringo and sang like Jagger-meets-Lennon on helium. Johnny would hang a plastic tape recorder microphone into the sound hole of a cheap acoustic guitar to achieve a killer electric "tone." By the time the boys were in their early teens, they were earning partial keep backing their jazz vocalist mom at local venues. The brothers knew then what they would be doing for life: nothing but music.
