The Drinkwater Brothers (An Auspicious Debut)
April 23, 2025
Matthew and John Drinkwater are making their solo show debut! Adding to the excitement, the show will be directed by Richard Jay-Alexander, with musical direction by Brian Nash.
The identical twins grew up on the East End of Long Island and from the moment they learned to talk, began singing and performing. Growing up as sports stars and theatre nerds, they found a way to meld their worlds, landing at Wagner College, playing football and thriving in the theatre program.
They burst onto the scene and found themselves on stages everywhere and finding their way to television and some “questionable and interesting” opportunities, which they will share with you in this “auspicious debut.” The Drinkwater Brothers started catching attention at various “open mic” nights in the city, which is where director Richard Jay-Alexander spotted them and knew he had to work with them. “They’re unlike anyone I had ever laid my eyes on and I didn’t even realize they were twins. They have great voices, they’re funny, very natural and accessible and seem comfortable in all vernaculars of music, which didn’t surprise me when they told me how they grew up and what kind of music was part of their listening education, both at home and in the family car.”
As for the brothers, themselves, “We are thrilled about this debut and new show for 54 Below. It’s been a dream and we cannot wait to perform there, as we have been part of the audience there many times over, seeing performers we love and admire. For sure, this is a ‘pinch me’ moment and ‘We’re not throwin’ away our shot!’”
The evening will be a thrilling introduction to the boys. The music, led by Brian Nash and the band, will consist of everything from Broadway to pop and very unexpected selections, which will resonate to many as a “soundtrack of their lives.” There will also be some real “New York Stories” that couldn’t happen anywhere else in the world and you’ll just have to believe them. You’ll be entertained and witness their extraordinary vocal prowess for their young years. Very exciting.
The Drinkwater Brothers will present a very unique evening and you have an opportunity to catch these meteors on the rise. You won’t want to miss it.
