My Brothers Mustache: Home of Local Folk Musicians

Tweet

My Brother’s Moustache Folk Bar is the home of local folk musicians. Jess Bartolome, Florante, Freddie Aguilar, Joey Ayala, Asin, Juan dela Cruz and upcoming artists are the regular performers.

I love 70's and 80's music and songs. Here at this folk music bar, you can listen to the soothing good old folk music covers of the late ‘70s and ‘80s. Much of that music reminiscing and reviving the music of my favorite singers and bands like America, Jim Croce, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and many more.

Acoustic music circa 70′s to early 80′s

Not only will the live renditions of the great folk songs remind you of the joy in living life, whatever it presents you, but also the menu of appetizers and dishes, most originally concocted, telling you food and music do mix, at My Bro's Mustache.

At the end of every set of some of the country's best folk singers, the likes of Jess Bartolome, Mon Espia, Lester Demetillo, or even Florante, Lolita Carbon, Noel Cabangon who have special gigs, with pulutan to die for, you'll be glad you are home in My Bro's Mustache.
