The ECMA award winning Hupman Brothers are an important Nova Scotia band to watch.  Their original sound is played with superb musicianship and as brothers they play as if one, knowing where the music is heading and how to make it their own. Most often, Scott offers textured and percussive guitar and bass work and Ryan performs exciting and intricate guitar solos. The lead vocals are richly expressive and enhanced by clear and evocative back-up harmonies.  This can be experienced by listening to their first CD, released in 2007, which is a self-titled collection of 16 original songs. Nominated by Music Nova Scotia for the Blues Album of the Year, this CD weaves lyrics, melody and harmony into a seamless expression of the everyday love, hurt and wonder we all share.  Their stories are our stories.

Winner of the 2010 ECMA for Blues Recording of the Year, and nominated for Music Nova Scotia Blues Album/Group Recording of the Year, their latest album "Countin' Quarters"  was released in Wolfville, NS on May 30, 2009, and includes drummer, Mike Carroll, a well-known Nova Scotia musician. Besides capturing their acoustic excellence , this CD adds an electric edge and has guest musicians performing on many of the tracks. Be sure and listen for Caleb Miles, Bob Federer, Ian Sherwood and Ariana Nasr as they join in with The Hupman Brothers Band.
