Middle Brother, an Alt/Americana supergroup including John McCauley of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Matthew Vasquez of Delta Spirit, returns to SXSW in 2011 with their debut album on Partisan Records. Their first public performance (under the name MG&V) was the headlining slot at last year’s Coda Agency Showcase at The Ale House.

Middle Brother offers another “sneak preview” on December 20th at The Troubador in Los Angeles, benefitting the Invisible Children charity. The self-titled album, recorded in Nashville in late 2009 and early 2010, will be released on Partisan Records on March 1, 2011.

See Middle Brother at the 2011 SXSW Music Festival. In the meantime, you can see performances by Deer Tick and Delta Spirit from the 2010 festival on the SXSW Youtube Channel.
