The Statler Brothers é um grupo de música country americano que começou a carreira em 1955 em Staunton, Virgínia.
Inicialmente, eles tocavam música gospel nas igrejas locais, o grupo se apresentava como "The Four Stars" e mais tarde como "The Kingsmen". Em 1963, quando a canção "Louie, Louie" do grupo também chamado The Kingsmen ficou famosa, eles mudaram o nome para The Statler Brothers. Apesar desse novo nome, apenas dois dos quatro membros eram irmãos, e nenhum deles se chamava "Statler".
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
