Labra Brothers
The Youngstown band Adrian Labra, guitar and vocals; Cristian Labra, bass and vocals; David Labra, guitar, saxophone and vocals; Danny Svenson, keyboards; and Matt Hayes, drums timed the vinyl release of its debut album, “Colder Weather,” to coincide with Record Store Day 2020 back in April, one of many events disrupted by COVID-19.
The vinyl arrived in April, but the band’s performance at the Record Connection in McKinley Heights was pushed to August and was one of its only shows in 2020.
“We are hopeful that the live music scene / gigging makes a comeback this year,” Adrian Labra said. ” While not playing out has been a bummer, we have been hard at work rehearsing, writing and recording. Several singles and at least one new EP will drop this year.”
