Fronted by husband and wife Jimmy Brown (vocals, guitar) and Ashlee Hardee Brown (vocals, keyboards), Matrimony is rounded out by Ashlee’s brothers Jordan Hardee (drums) and CJ Hardee (mandolin, banjo). The family dynamic creates a deeply intuitive musical connection that can be heard on record and is even clearer during the band’s live shows.
