home from a rowdy run of dates with friends The Apples in Stereo, but they

one. Omaha sensation Coyote Bones, one of the newest additions to the Fanatic

| Cary
Brothers Debut |
PR reports: In the fair city of Los Angeles,
nestled among its movie studios and fault lines, lies Cary Brothers . Cary's
debut album, Who You Are, is an impassioned, charm-laced collection of
his trademark blend of dreamy pop songs. His beautifully full-bodied music
glows with a serene contentment - a genuine, down-home allure. Who You
Are is a delight from start to finish, marked by Cary's intimate, heartfelt
vocals, clever melodies and astute lyrics.
Despite the fact that this is only his
first full-length, Cary Brothers' songs have already appeared on the NBC
sitcom Scrubs, the FOX mystery Bones, WB's Smallville, and the successful
medical dramas Grey's Anatomy and ER. Brothers' lyrical ballad "Blue Eyes"
was featured on the platinum-selling, Grammy-winning soundtrack to the
hit indie film Garden State. And, this past summer, Brothers' song "Ride"
(which can also be found on Who You Are) appeared on the soundtrack to
the feature film The Last Kiss .Brothers has also performed on the The
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Scrubs.[see full story for more]-
