Originally conceived as a loosely-knit collective showcasing four of Austin’s best up-and-coming artists, The Band Of Heathens is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new acts in American Music. The band’s debut album LIVE FROM MOMO’S features dynamic songwriting with powerful vocal harmonies and superb musicianship.
The broad appeal of The Band of Heathens can be credited to musical diversity. The idea for this collective hatched from a Wednesday night residence that saw the four principle songwriters, Colin Brooks (Chippin’ Away at the Promise Land, 2002 & Blood and Water, 2005), Ed Jurdi (Longshores Drive, 2003), Brian Keane (I Ain’t Even Lonely, 2006) and Gordy Quist (Songs Play Me, 2004), sharing the bill as separate acts. Seth Whitney would stay on stage all night, providing groove-filled bass lines to lay the foundation for all the songs.
In the spring of 2006, as an experiment, Brooks, Jurdi, Keane and Quist decided to play a show where they would share the stage equally and collaborate on each other’s songs. Largely improvised and unrehearsed, the initial endeavor took on a life of its own. Quickly, the four individual voices began blending together to form a unique and distinct harmony. Drawing from a wellspring of traditional American music, the show would easily switch gears from Classic Country to Progressive Folk to Americana and R&B, with all of the parts coming together in a rock and roll stew.
