BOUCHARD BROTHERS - SONG AND STORIES
The Bouchard Brothers first played as a team in the early 60s. Albert, the oldest, was the drummer, and Joe, the second of 6 brothers and one sister, was the piano, guitar and sometimes trumpet player. After successful high school and college bands, Joe again teamed up with brother Al, to become founders of the internationally successful legends - Blue Öyster Cult. In 1971 They won an audition with Clive Davis at Columbia Records and soon after gold and platinum awards came their way. Today they have teamed up again for a semi-acoustic trio that plays the hits and more.
