Brother's Rye
  • Start It Up Again from Daniel Cojanu on Vimeo

    A new video from the Brother’s Rye, featuring the single “Start It Up Again,” is an ode to front man Benjamin Lee Paterson’s hometown of Woods Hole, as well as the seasonal tides all Cape Codders are familiar with.

    As anyone who’s set foot there knows, Woods Hole has a Jekyll and Hyde quality: the good times of summer, filled with steel drums and shellfish, and a harsh, windy winter. As the band jams out around a bonfire, flasks passing and sparks flying, “Start Up Again” conveys the seasonal rite of passage from winter into spring, despair into hope. Even if you’ve never been to Woods Hole, you’ll find yourself humming along, feeling just a tad it nostalgic for those raw March days.

Josh Dayton was first exposed to the bass in the womb, as his mother, Gayle, experimented with electric bass. Those vibrations must have sunk in deep, because—although he tried his hand at saxophone, tuba and violin—Josh was playing the upright just as soon as he became tall enough in junior high.

Raised on a steady diet of country and bluegrass in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Josh started playing with his parent’s band, Back Eddy Bluegrass, at the age of 14. For the next 10 years, he would join them on stage and on tour, which helped him pay his way through college.

Josh’s solid foundation in bluegrass (and the genre’s popularity in the post-“O Brother Where Art Thou?” decade) led the bassist to find a prominent place in the acoustic music scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he’s known to sit in on sessions at the famed Cantab Lounge.

In addition to providing the rhythm and knockout solos for Brother’s Rye, Josh spends his time napping, floating
around the Northeast Atlantic, and testing various rye and bourbon whiskeys for quality and safety.
