The Kirkpatrick Brothers are very talented young musicians who are heavily influenced by jazz, blues and the great psychedelic music created in the 1960’s (folk and rock). The result is a fresh visionary musical force that shapes from the original influence and then transcends into present day.
Kyle Kirkpatrick is studying music at the prestige’s Humber College Jazz program in Toronto. The two of them share a passion for the arts which reflects in their live musical performances.


" If music were a box of crayons, String Fever's box would be huge, with all the colours of the spectrum! From flamenco to blues, classical to surf rock, an event with String Fever is like a musical trip around the world, brought to you with virtuosity and style that is rarely matched."
