Hermanos Gutiérrez Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour with Alejandro & Estevan Gutiérrez

When some people travel, they take photos on their phone to remember a trip. Old-soul voyager’s recount their adventures with pen to paper. But for globetrotting Hermanos Gutiérrez (featuring brothers Alejandro & Estevan), they let their experiences conjure soundtracks. Their most pivotal visit was years ago when experiencing the American Southwest.

A couple years after forming their duo, they took a trip through Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. “It just blew our minds.” Estevan told PG. The desert, he says, “is where our music was born.”

“Part of what we’re doing is traveling together as brothers,” Alejandro told PG in 2022, “so we go to places, we come back and we’re feeling inspired, and we feel like we’ve gotta write something about this place.”

And while these wanderers have found bountiful inspiration in the West, their mystic compositions provide the score to their sonic souvenirs and passport stamps on their consciousness.

“It’s just beautiful where we can go with this music,” says Alejandro. “It’s just my brother and I together, and we’re so happy to have this.”

The Hermanos Gutiérrez sold-out concert at Nashville’s Basement East on June 20th marked their first return performing in Music City since recording El Bueno Y El Malo with Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound in 2022. The pair invited PG’s Chris Kies onstage to decode their spellbinding cinematic sounds. The conversation touched on their symbiotic alchemy, enchanting hollowbodies, and how a single Strymon reset their slow-burn backdrop.

Listening to this kind of music makes going to the 7/11 feel like you’re in the movies.

Saw them at the Boulder Theater. They were phenomenal! Spoke with them after the show and asked them about their playing. They said make every note count. Play every note with passion. Soulful, gems. Love them ❤

[JorshWarshington]

Love these guys. I respect Dan for giving them the rub, but they had this sound from the start. Humble and kind with zero concern for gear or anything, just what works. El Camino De Mi Alma, Cerca De Ti, Mesa Redonda, Mi Amor.

Much respect. I've never been this floored.

The coolest musicians in the world with the most emotional and beautiful music I have ever heard.

[jasonpitts]

When I listen to this music I'm riding a horse across some vast expanse, blue skies, and the scenery is amazing. Their music is so unique and amazing.

[andremanfrinigarcia]

Dudes are so humble... saw them in Brazil, one of the best live performances i've seen in years. Takes you to another dimension.

[dwaynejessome]

So glad I heard about these Gents on Uncle Larry's channel!! Nothing beats a drink in the backyard when Hermanos Gutierrez permeating the speakers.

[marce]

BEST Ever Hermanos Gutiérrez interview, great questions and great techniques shared, Thank you kindly!

[andrewpappas]

I haven't heard of these guys before this video, and even though I don't listen to this kind of music there's no denying that they're definitely talented as hell and they seem like really cool guys as well

[smattermonnat]

Saw this incredible duo open up for Jason Isbell @ The Ryman last Fall and it was one of those rare musical awakening moments for me. Thanks very much for adding them to the RR series and hopefully introducing them to even more new fans. They deserve every accolade they get and beyond.

[RobertAcurso]

Such a beautiful, authentic duo. I am in love with the unicorn stickers from his daughter.

[christopherkelley]
