(Nashville, TN) – It’s been at least two decades since country music’s harmonic sibling trio Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers have appeared on the late night television front. With the GRAMMY Award winning brothers reunited after a 17-year absence from the entertainment scene, late night talk show guru Jimmy Kimmel welcomes the boys to his set this Wednesday night, January 13, 2010, for a performance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The Gatlin Brothers made their triumphant return to the country music scene in 2009 with the release of Pilgrimage (CURB Records). Pilgrimage is the critically acclaimed "storyteller’s album" that gives listeners an inside look at country music’s yesteryears with heartfelt songs and stories from one of the late Johnny Cash’s very close friends, Larry Gatlin.

Larry, Steve and Rudy will take the Kimmel set with a rip-roaring rendition of their new single, “Johnny Cash Is Dead And His House Burned Down” and will close out the show with their patriotic “Americans, That’s Who.”

Larry Gatlin, a big fan of Kimmel and his show, is ecstatic about the Wednesday night appearance. "Jimmy Kimmel looks at the world sideways... me too!" notes Gatlin. "We could be dangerous together... and I hear he plays a mean bass clarinet."

During the 1970s and 1980s, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers became one of country music’s most popular acts, introducing a new ‘countrypolitan’ sound to the genre. Larry Gatlin has a total of 33 Top 40 singles under his belt, including both his solo recordings and those with his brothers. The band’s biggest hits include, “Broken Lady,” “All the Gold In California,” “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer to You),” “She Used to Be Somebody’s Baby,” and “Talkin’ to the Moon.”

Catch Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers on this Wednesday night's episode of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! at 12:05 AM / 11:05 PM CST.
