Little Brazil

Omaha, NE’s Little Brazil have peeled away layers of themselves: elation, desperation, tenderness, hope, sorrow and pain and found the tempestuous core of their shared experience—a series of narratives that make up their new album “Son” bound by the common thread of family dysfunction and tragedy. Tracing the arc of a relationship from it’s wonderful, romantic beginning through an ending that is all too familiar to the children of broken homes, songwriter Landon Hedges eschews the hackneyed boy/girl adolescent, melodrama of six-million inferior records and plows head-on into divorce, adultery, custody battles, parental alienation, abandonment, suicide and a child’s search for self. The type of grown up shit that would make Hedges’ former Saddle Creek Records band-mates proud, and even envious. With “Son”, Hedges firmly puts himself in the pantheon of great Omaha songwriters.
