They began performing professionally in 1970 when twin brothers Brian and Bruce joined forces with James Ackroyd to form a trio called James and The Good Brothers. After performing at such venues as Maple Leaf Gardens and touring on the outrageous Festival Express with Janis Joplin, The Band, Ian and Sylvia and and The Grateful Dead they, along with help from The Grateful Dead, recorded their first album on Columbia records. When James left the band in 1973 the brothers recruited their younger sibling Larry and The Good Brothers was launched.

They have toured extensively throughout North America with Gordon Lightfoot.
