Band Of Heathens

The Band of Heathens, originating from Austin, Texas, has established a notable career as an American rock and roll band, consistently delivering their authentic sound to a dedicated fanbase. After garnering national attention for their 2006 recording ‘Live from Momo’s,’ The Band of Heathens were recognized as ‘Best New Band’ at the 2007 Austin Music Awards. The band, comprised of singer-songwriters Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi, and Gordy Quist, began collaborating in 2005, initially performing individual sets before joining with bassist Seth Whitney during their ‘The Good Time Supper Club’ series at Momo’s. Drummer John Chipman joined the lineup in 2007, followed by keyboardist Trevor Nealon, who contributed to studio recordings before joining the touring lineup in 2011.

Demonstrating consistent artistic output and evolution, The Band of Heathens continued to release new material, including ‘Duende’ (2016), ‘Stranger’ (2020), and ‘Simple Things’ (2023). Their collaborative spirit was highlighted in 2024 with the release of ‘Hayes & The Heathens,’ an album created with Hayes Carll, which included joint performances to critical acclaim. This collaboration underscored their ongoing willingness to explore new artistic avenues while maintaining their authentic sound. Looking ahead, The Band of Heathens continues their prolific recording schedule and engaging fan initiatives.

In 2025, they are set to release ‘All That Remains (Live),’ a project produced in close collaboration with their dedicated Patreon members, further cementing their innovative approach to fan engagement and independent music production.
