A physical copy of our new album. The photo was taken by local photographer, Jose Ramos. Final artwork and custom font was designed by Ryan Keel from Seattle, WA. This album was recorded in Cleveland, OH with Jim Stewart. After making our first album we were looking for more, some way to bring our songs to the next level. We found that in the addition of local musicians Brendan O'Malley and Chris Volpe. We are excited to share this collection of tunes with you and hope you fall madly in love with us.

This is both our first and second full length album. "Take it Back" from 2015 and our self titled "The Gage Brothers" from 2017. These two albums will show you the transition we made from a two piece band into a four (and sometimes more) piece.
Old man Richards, liked the way I worked the line
Made me foreman, twenty more men, would be mine
Turns out whiskey, chose to miss me, so I poured another glass
Old man Richards and those twenty men, kicked me on my ass
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
Every penny, every dollar at the Cincinnati track
A lifetime of savings, that I'm never getting back
My sure thing Lightning came in second to Thunder's hooves and main
With empty pockets, I'm hanging me head in shame
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
And of course there was a girl (ooo)
The prettiest in the world (ooo)
But I left her just the same
When she said someone else's name
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
And its me leaving you
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
Teaching myself the blues
