Titus Luckhaupt
Vocals, Mandolin
Titus started his music career the same way as his brothers - on the piano! At age 10, he switched to the mandolin and has been playing his heart out ever since. Titus is the lead singer and official bird-watcher of the band.
Joshua Luckhaupt
Fiddle, harmonica, piano, organ, vocals, accordion...and other stuff
Josh is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist! If there's an instrument you've heard of, it's very likely that Josh has recorded it on one of our albums. He started on piano and kept with it through the years and recently has contributed beautiful piano accompaniment to our songs. In his free time, Josh enjoys disc golf and spending time with his family.
Benjamin Luckhaupt
Guitar, Vocals
Benj is an extraordinary songwriter and writes most of the songs MBK performs. He's been playing guitar for over 20 years and is an accomplished singer and player. Benj serves as the mechanic of the band and you'll often see him out driving his station-wagon, Trans Am, or Alfa Romeo.
Adam Moehlman
Fiddle, Vocals
Adam is the newest member of My Brother's Keeper joining us in 2023. Adam is a 2-time Kansas State fiddle champion and knows how to shred! Our sound has been elevated to new levels of "twin-fiddling" since he has joined. Additionally, Adam is a family pastor in Greendale, IN.
Wyatt "Sawmill" Murray
Bass, Vocals
Sawmill is a force to be reckoned with. Whether he's behind the camera slapping the shutter or slapping the bass, you'll always know he's there. He's been playing double bass for almost 15 years and enjoys adding bowed bass to MBK's complex arrangements. He is an accomplished sound engineer and photographer, frequently utilizing these skills for MBK's music and album covers.
