Cary Brothers is an indie rock American singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Brothers is best known for the single Blue Eyes, which was featured on the soundtrack to the 2004 film Garden State. He spent his childhood idolizing Elvis Presley, another Tennessee native. He played piano from age 11 until age 13, when he switched to guitar; he still plays that guitar to this day.

With his songs influenced by everything from 80's British New Wave to 70's Folk, Brothers has achieved critical and commercial success with his independent releases "All the Rage" and "Waiting for Your Letter," both of which reached the top of the iTunes Folk charts. "Blue Eyes" has been downloaded over 20,000 times and broke the Top Fifty on the iTunes singles chart. On the web, Brothers has found success on MySpace, where he has over 800,000 plays on his music page.

Brothers' songs have appeared on the NBC sitcom "Scrubs," the FOX mystery "Bones," WB's "Smallville," and the successful medical dramas "Grey's Anatomy" and "ER." Brothers' lyrical ballad "Blue Eyes" was featured on the Platinum selling, Grammy winning soundtrack to the hit indie film "Garden State." This fall, Brothers' song "Ride" will appear on the soundtrack to the feature film "Last Kiss," starring Zach Braff, Rachel Bilson, and Casey Affleck. Brothers has also performed on the CBS "Late, Late Show" and "Scrubs."

Brothers found his musical voice playing regularly as part of the musical community at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, and he has since toured across America and Canada with such acts as Liz Phair, KT Tunstall, Aqualung, Imogen Heap, and The Fray.

Brothers is currently in the studio working on his first full length release which will be released in Winter 2007.

He recently made a guest appearance with London musician Aqualung on the Late Show with David Letterman.
