The Band of Heathens' are a super band of sorts from Austin, Tx that started as a side project, or a song-swap jam session with friends at a local Austin club. Well it just caught on and grew to the point they recorded a live album together Live at Momo's. Even then they still didn't consider themselves an actual band until they won the 2007 Austin Music Award for “Best New Band.” The Band of Heathens who are comprised of singers/songwriters/guitar-pickers Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi, bassist Seth Whitney and drummer John Chipman with great harmonies and a rootsy country-rock blend that reminds of The Band. Following the 2007 Austin Music Award they recorded another live album Live at Antone's which is a CD/DVD combo and went into the studio to record their first studio album, produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard, called Band of Heathens which will be released on May 20th. They are a great live band and should be put on your list of bands to see at this years ACL Fest.Check out The Band of Heathens preforming their song "Jenny Was A Keeper"
