If these two guys look familiar, it's because you've surely seen them before. On records, on tour, and on TV, Bill Bonk and Phil Parlapiano -- aka The Brothers Figaro -- have worked with many of the foremost musical artists of our day. Together or separately, these accomplished multi-instrumentalists have been in the touring bands of such respected artists as Rod Stewart, John Prine, Grant Lee Buffalo, Tracy Chapman, Aimee Mann, Susanna Hoffs, Lucinda Williams, Joan Baez, and countless others.

Between the two of them, they've performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (seven times), Late Night with David Letterman (twice), Saturday Night Live (twice), MTV Unplugged, Austin City Limits (three times), Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, Conan O'Brien, and practically every major European, Canadian and Australian national television network. Their incredible careers have also included appearing in videos on MTV, CMT, VH-1, and MuchMusic.
