The Adobe Brothers is a band of identical quadruplets born to different mothers a long time ago. They began playing together as a band in 1979 shortly after their mothers kicked them out of their homes. They started playing in local restaurants and bars in northern New Mexico and moved up to playing concerts, street fairs, and music festivals throughout the southwest. Their initial musical preference consisted of old time fiddle music, Bluegrass, and folk music of North America, but has subsequently expanded to International Bluegrass, combining Western Swing, Celtic, blues, and whatever else might be fun to play. Perhaps the greatest musical continuity throughout their existence as a band has been playing for contra and square dances; the Adobe Brothers are recognized as one of the top New Mexican contra dance bands.

The Adobe Brothers (and their respective day names, given by their mothers to avoid confusion) are:

Jacoby Adobe (Jimmy Abraham) on vocals, guitar, fiddle, and harmonica
Jacoby has written many fine songs and has had four winning songs featured on the Walnut Valley Festival New Song Showcase. He has taught harmonica workshops at the Winfield, KA festival and the Albuquerque Folk Festival.

Moby Adobe (Wayne Shrubsall) on vocals, banjo, and guitar
Moby is one of the best banjo players around and has performed on-stage and recorded with some of the legends in Bluegrass music. He is a long time columnist for the Banjo Newsletter.

Pierogi Adobe (Terry Bluhm) on vocals and bass
Pierogi is among the most sought after bass & guitar players in New Mexico. Although one might think he’d bring an eastern European flavor to the band, they’d be wrong. His musical influence is primarily eastern Albuquerquean.

Toby Adobe (Bruce Thomson) on vocals, fiddle, and guitar
Toby has won contests in Bluegrass and Old Time fiddle styles, written columns on traditional music for folk music and dance organizations, and has composed some fine fiddle tunes.

The Adobe Brothers released their first studio CD in 2009 titled “The Adobe Brothers.” It has continued to sell well and the boys report that their mothers all like it a lot. A second CD, “Our Name is Mud” was released in 2012 and has had tracks nominated for New Mexico Music Awards in the Americana and Bluegrass categories.
