You know them. We know them. And we ve all heard them. The Winiker Brothers are a Brookline institution, making music to go with our memories for almost 60 years.
Bo and Bill are lifelong musicians. With Bo on horns and vocals and Bill on drums, along with regular band members, they re ubiquitous at weddings, events, bar and bat mitzvahs, and holiday gatherings. They ve had several long area residencies as well. We performed in the Last Hurrah at the Parker House Hotel from 1977 to 1991, six evenings a week, plus Sunday afternoon brunch, said Bill. Each performance was with a six-piece swing band, and their original contract was for six weeks.
