Lakeshore Records releases Brothers 
Season 1 Apple Original Series Soundtrack digitally today featuring an original score by composers Zachary Dawes and Nick Sena (The Big Door Prize). The duo creates a rich twang with lively interplay between acoustic and slide guitars that enhance the riotously comedic series. Produced by Paramount Television Studios, all episodes of Brothers are now streaming globally on Apple TV.
Notes Sena: “We started with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Allman Brothers – we knew we wanted it to feel like outlaw country because that’s kinda how Matthew and Woody see themselves. It had to feel like Texas since home base for most of the season is on Matthews ranch. But then of course you have these more emotional moments between the two of them where it just felt right to step outside of that style and sit at the piano and verb up some guitars and just sit with them and catch what came up.
Zach and I did quite a few jams with the two of us just watching the scenes down – him on the bass or guitar and me on this Wurlitzer with a few keys heavily out of tune. We’d try to find key signatures or inversions where those out notes didn’t come up much. It was often less is more with them – clean arrangements – all natural – mostly live playing – and the slide guitar. The slide ended up being the thing that got spread around almost the entire score because it just seemed to encapsulate where they came from, where they were at now – the highs and lows – the brotherhood.”
ABOUT BROTHERS SEASON 1
Brothers follows McConaughey and Harrelson, who play fictionalized versions of themselves, and whose friendship is thrown into chaos when they uncover a decades-old secret: they might actually be brothers. After Woody’s daughter’s engagement falls apart, he loads up the family and heads to Austin for an extended stay at Matthew’s ranch. But what begins as a healing getaway quickly spirals when Matthew’s mother, Ma Mac (played by Holland Taylor), accidentally let’s slip a long-buried secret that the two friends might actually be brothers. As Woody turns the ranch upside down in pursuit of the truth, Matthew finds himself juggling an entirely different identity crisis: a potential run for governor of Texas. The result is a heartfelt, chaotic and wildly funny story about friendship, family, fame and the messy line between myth and reality.
The ensemble cast starring alongside Harrelson and McConaughey includes Natalie Martinez, Brittany Ishibashi, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, Noah Carganilla, Highdee Kuan, Oona Yaffe and Taylor.
“Brothers” is produced for Apple TV by Paramount Television Studios. Lee Eisenberg, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson executive produce alongside Natalie Sandy, David West Read, Trish Hofmann, Bill Bost, Jason Winer, David Finkel, Brett Baer and Jeremy Plager. Trent O’Donnell directs multiple episodes, including the pilot.
