The Band Of Heathens – Live At Rockpalast 2009
The three front musicians of the Band Of Heathens, Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi, all not only excellent singers and instrumentalists, but also very talented songwriters, founded the band in November 2005 in Austin, Texas. Bassist Seth Withney and drummer John Chipman, who had previously played with The Resentments, completed the quintet in 2007. Since then, the Texans have enjoyed a great reputation among Americana and roots rock fans.
The band’s first two albums were live CDs, and it was only in May 2008 that the five musicians recorded their first studio album, produced by US folk rock legend Ray Wylie Hubbard. The album reached number 1 in the Americana Charts and the Euro Americana Charts. In addition to further awards (including nominations at the Americana Music Honors & Awards and the Americana Music Association), the band won the “Austin Music Award” as Best New Band. In 2009, the next long-player, “One Foot in the Ether”, followed, and in the fall the Band Of Heathens successfully toured Europe, also making a Rockpalast appearance on November 8th at the Harmonie in Bonn. If you like The Band, The Eagles or The Jayhawks, Dan Penn or Jake Smith aka The White Buffalo and have developed an affinity for country meets soul meets folk and gospel, this Rockpalast is for you and you can enjoy plenty of musical Southern atmosphere.
