Brothers Fortune was formed by Kyle Hunt in 2014 after his former band Kyle Hunt and the King Gypsy (KHKG) disbanded in 2013. Kyle would venture out on this new project looking to scratch the musical itch of a Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Steve Miller, CSNY, CCR, Pink Floyd inspired revival.

Kyle would record his solo single It All Begins with Armand John Anthony (Night Demon) and numerous players from the thriving Ventura music scene. Through Ventura’s strong music support network Kyle would team up with drummer Marco Perez (formerly of Dan Grimm), guitar player and vocalist Jayce Flauding, bass and vocals Sean Tauber , and John Sagar (former guitarist of KHKG). Working with Jason Mariani, the five-piece band would go on to record, Texas and Heavy Eyes.

At the time of these releases, John Sagar would leave the band to focus on his growing family, as did Jayce Flauding who moved out of state. Alan Hokom, would fill the absence as lead guitar and vocalist creating the current four-piece band. Kyle, Marco, Sean, and Alan would go on to release Nostalgic Novocaine, and Blind Spot in 2018 with their third new single, Through The Years is scheduled for release in 2019. Brother’s Fortune is currently in the works of creating a new full length album to be released this year.

The quartet was excited to perform at Guild and Cordoba’s booth at NAMM 2019 in Anaheim. They have also been lucky enough to be featured in the Adobe and Teardrops podcast, the Ventura County Star, as well as B-Sides and Badlands and MP3Hugger and as a front page crowd pick for Blind Spot on ReverbNation.com in February 2019.
