“Gopherbroke” is a horn-driven, Detroit area-based group, specializing in “Blues, Soul and Rock n Roll”. In addition to our original songs, we play danceable, high energy covers of mostly Blues and Soul/R & B music. Music is presented in a professional manner, but with the emphasis on EVERYONE having fun! 

We are members of and recording artists for The Detroit Blues Society/DBS Records and “No Cover Productions”. Our work, including our 2023 release, “It’s About Damn Time!”  and our 2024 release “Gopherbroke LIVE @ “The Shop” can be found on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, and all streaming sources.

“We always have fun when GopherBroke comes to town! You can tell they’ve been playing together for a while because they are polished and professional. In fact, I book them for “Music in the Park” in October to make sure I get them in the summer! Love this band!”
