About the Bros.
The Kelleher brothers are a playful group of musically inclined siblings, known for their original compositions and quality puns. A variety of shared interests exist between brothers, including writing music, writing books, playing soccer, skateboarding, and of course playing/commenting on video games.
Brother #1: Denis
The eldest Kelleher brother, Denis resides in Fort Dodge, Iowa. A phenomenal drummer and legendary figure in the northwestern Iowa underground metal scene, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of heavy rock. This makes Denis the brothers' expert on all things METAL. 🤘
Brother #2: Mike
Responsible father and aerospace engineer by day, badass composer by night. Mike makes eclectic chillout downbeat lounge music under the moniker Nova Maru (formerly Komorébi). The brothers' expert on music production, he records out of his home studio in Seattle, WA.
Mike lent valuable joke-crafting expertise to Legendary Puns, a book written in collaboration with his fellow Kelleher brothers.
Check out Mike's work on NovaMaru.com, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp.
Brother #3: Lucas
Lucas is a writer, video game designer, and comic artist living in Seattle, WA with his wife Marissa. In 2015, he published his first book, the humorous Japan travel guide/memoir, Shakotan Blue. In 2024, he cowrote Legendary Puns with his fellow Kelleher brothers, and also provided the book’s illustrations.
Luc is the editor of Kelleher Bros. and writer of most content (so he's also responsible for all typos.) He also runs our Twitch stream. Check out his game development projects on our itch.io page.
Lucas can be found on video game networks and various social media platforms—Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky—under the handle ‘propelleher’.
Brother #4: Kevin
Kevin is an author, composer, and playwright living in New York City. He is the author of the high-flying, fantasy/adventure series, Chronicles of Gilderam, and his plays and musicals have been performed around the country. He’s the brothers' expert on fantasy, roleplaying, and card & tabletop board games.
Kevin coauthored and published Legendary Puns, a paperback masterwork of puns written in collaboration with his fellow Kelleher brothers.
Check out Kevin's work at his website KevinFKelleher.com and follow him on Twitter @kevinfkelleher.
Brother #5: Patrick
The youngest Kelleher brother, Patrick might be the most musically talented. An excellent guitarist and bass player, his musicianship is paired with fantastic songwriting skills. Catchy hooks, counter-melodies, and poetic lyrics abound in his various works. Besides musical contributions, Patrick writes the occasional video game review/opinion piece on this site. He currently resides in Badger, IA with his wife and son.
Listen to more of Patrick's work on SoundCloud.
Father: Stephen
Stephen Kelleher is a multitalented musician specializing in guitar and lute, a retired teacher, and the father of the aforementioned Kelleher Bros.
A paragon of musicianship, Stephen is largely responsible for his family’s love of music and especially their appreciation of puns. In fact, he was a coauthor of the Legendary Puns book.
Fun Fact: While not a direct contributor to this website, Stephen is actually one of the original Kelleher Bros. When he and two siblings performed music around Iowa in the early 70’s, their band was called—wait for it!—the Kelleher Brothers.
