The Wiseman Brothers
The Wiseman Brothers are a Georgia-based Bluegrass band. Since 2014, they have been entertaining music lovers across the state of Georgia.
In a world where everything seems to be moving towards a more progressive sound, the Wiseman Brothers strive to bring a traditional sound to contemporary audiences. The Wiseman Brothers enjoy straight-ahead bluegrass and work to incorporate that sound into the ever changing music scene of our present day. Listeners are treated to original music, traditional covers, but also furrows in popular recognizable tunes as well.
The band features Donovan Wiseman singing lead and harmony vocals while playing lead guitar. Devon Wiseman sings tenor vocals and plays Scruggs-style three finger banjo. They are proudly backed by close friends Drew Lawson and Jay Moore. Drew Lawson brings a great energy and a tremendous tone with his solid upright bass playing. Drew is known to many that follow bluegrass for his time spent with the group White Path. Jay Moore plays mandolin, sings baritone vocals and brings a great deal of talent and experience to the group. He also takes the occasional lead role singing many popular and recognizable tunes. He is a graduate of the Bluegrass Music program at East Tennessee State University and is known in the music circle for his work with the band Control Burn.
