Introducing: Fontaine

Twins Ike and Luke Fontaine grew up on a farm in Duxbury Massachusetts, and started playing music at age 8 – Luke on Bass, and Ike on Guitar. They performed from the age of 10 as the opening act for their father’s bluegrass band, and after a few years of opening for other acts, they began headlining their own gigs, performing as The Fontaine Brothers. Playing wherever they could, from coffee houses to opening for headlining bands at large venues, Ike and Luke also played a lot of charity venues while still in High School. Upon graduation, they signed with a small indie label.

With a sound that’s a blend of country, pop and rock, the newly renamed Fontaine have a new EP due for launch later this year. Fontaine will be performing at various festivals over September – check out the details here.

You can find Fontaine on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube.
