BROTHER DEGE FEATURED ON TONIGHT'S SEASON PREMIERE OF DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S "AFTER THE CATCH"!

BROTHER DEGE'S SONG "HARD ROW TO HOE" FEATURED AS THE THEME SONG FOR DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S "AFTER THE CATCH"

"AFTER THE CATCH" SEASON PREMIERE TONIGHT AT 10PM (EST)!

AFTER THE CATCH Returns – The new season of Discovery Channel's After the Catch (Deadliest Catch mini-series) hits the high seas Tuesday, June 19 at 10PM EST, following the regular airing of The Deadliest Catch. Once again, Brother Dege Legg's "Hard Row to Hoe” is featured as the show's theme song. This is the third year running that the song has been featured as the theme, so give Discovery Channel, Silent Crow Productions, The Deadliest Catch, and Mike Rowe some big, southern "hell ya's" for going with the rawest sound in the underground via Dege Legg's highly addictive and thoroughly mind-blowing 21st century Delta Blues.

After the Catch is the ultimate after-show for the ultimate show. Go behind the scenes with the captains and crews of Discovery’s Emmy (R) award-winning DEADLIEST CATCH with an all new season of AFTER THE CATCH premiering Tuesday, June 19 at 10PM EST. AFTER THE CATCH will air each week after the premiere of DEADLIEST CATCH – taking a deeper look at one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and the men who do it. This year, America’s favorite crab fishermen say Rocky Mountain hi to one another, swapping tales of the Bering Sea and dropping anchor in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado. Mike Rowe (host of Dirty Jobs and narrator of DEADLIEST CATCH) and the guys huddle at Breckenridge’s famous watering hole – The Whale’s Tail – for best bull session on television. Don’t miss the fireworks.

“Hard Row to Hoe” is the opening track from Brother Dege’s critically acclaimed album Folk Songs of the American Longhair, which in 10 smoking, original tracks, recharges the cannon of the Delta Blues for the next 100 years. Recorded in a shed in southern Louisiana, the album bursts with barn burning slide and Dobro drenched tunes that reel, rip, and scream like a master class in backwoods songwriting, while taking epic swings into the ambient darkness with Paris, Texas-like passages into the great unknown. It’s haunted, it’s harrowing, and it rocks.

Folk Songs of the American Longhair is available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, Emusic and other vendors.

Brother Dege is currently mixing his second album How to Kill a Horse with Tony Daigle and Primo, which promises to push the slide and the traditions of the Delta blues far into the darkness of the millennium.

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT BROTHER DEGE:

“[Four Stars] In lesser hands all this might easily sound contrived, but instead it’s genuinely powerful and compelling stuff. 'The Girl Who Wept Stones' and 'Dead & Gone' might have been ripped from the Son House songbook, though the seven-minute epic 'House of the Dying Sun' is the real keeper.” – UNCUT

“Both ancient and modern, like an indie rock cover of something Lomax may have recorded a hundred years ago.” – BLOGCRITICS

“Fans of slide guitar, Southern gothic, or plain old rock & roll attitude need to run, not walk, and check out Brother Dege ASAP. Brother Dege is a case study in how one guy with a steel guitar and minimal accompaniment can out-rock a roomful of electric bombast, given the right songs, the right skills, and the right voice. Brother Dege has‘em all.” – POPMATTERS

“Brother Dege brings the ghosts of kudzu-covered swamp rats to life in your speakers.  Find the darkest spot in your backyard, light some candles and turn it up.” – THE BIG TAKEOVER

“Those willing to step into the Brother Dege abyss will likely reap its rewards.” – OFFBEAT MAGAZINE
