AAC Live! Presents The Cate Brothers
December 8, 2022
More than 50 years into their career, Earl and Ernie Cate are still hitting the high notes! Although semi-retired in 2010 after 40 years on the road, the brothers still perform three or four shows per year, and AACLive! is super fortunate to be one of those chosen venues!
The Cate Brothers started performing together in the early 1960s, inspired by friends including Ronnie Hawkins and Levon Helm. Initially performing as The Del-Rays, they later called themselves The Cates Gang when they recorded their first album in 1970. The Cates’ music was always hard to classify. It was part soul, a little country, and prominently influenced by the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. They began performing under the moniker The Cate Brothers around the same time they signed to Elektra/Asylum Records. The Cate Brothers eponymous record was released in 1975 and contained the band’s biggest hit, “Union Man.” By then, the brothers had already been performing together for about 15 years, touring with The Band, Queen, and many others.
Join us as we welcome the band that has been aptly dubbed “Arkansas Legends of Rock & Soul.”
