And the Relatives is a three-piece band of the rock 'n' roll variety often referred to as a "power trio." The band is comprised of vocalist and guitar wizard Andrew Brassell, bass master Eli Beaird—the low-end is his lair—and drummer Patrick Rodgers, whose mother was a kick-drum. And the Relatives can typically be found logging countless hours writing, recording and mixing in the shadowy basement studio beneath Eli Beaird’s noble estate. But yes, they will play your Bar Mitzvah.
