Little Brother Project is a six-piece funk and groove based band from Houston, TX. They are a diverse and talent driven group whose live shows include catchy songs as well as skillful improvisation. With their wide variety of influences touching on so many styles, they create a welcoming and hip sound that is enjoyed by all.

A typical LBP show consists of a 60/40 spilt between upbeat, danceable, and emotional instrumentals and the soulful style of lead singer, Phyve. “The best part about an LBP show is you never know what you will get. Sure, it’s all funky and groovy but the communication between the six of them leads you on an ever-changing journey. Great to watch, and even better to listen to,” says one fan that has seen them perform at Deans in downtown Houston, TX.

LBP has been hosting their own night at Deans Credit Clothing in Houston, TX. They presented the idea to one of the owners to have a live band every Wednesday night. Since this happened over a year ago, they band has really established themselves in the Houston music scene with a loyal following. Please see the enclosed review of LBP at Deans by the Houston Press.
