*CANCELLED* Band of Heathens

Picture
When:   
Cancelled 


Box Office:
315-686-2200
The three original principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist - shared the bill at Momo's, an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set. However, they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club." A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." Drummer John Chipman joined the band in 2007, and keyboardist Trevor Nealon, who played in the studio during the recording of both "One Foot in the Ether" and "Top Hat Crown & the Clapmaster's Son," joined the touring unit in 2011.

Their first recording, "Live from Momo's", recorded at the now closed club on West 6th Street in Austin brought the band national attention and they were voted "Best New Band" at the 2007 Austin Music Awards. May 2008 the band released their first self-titled studio album featuring notable guest Patty Griffin, Stephen Bruton and Gurf Morlix. The record went to #1 on the Americana Music Association's radio charts. In November 2008, the album was ranked 8th on the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of the Americana Charts for 2008.

In 2009, the band was nominated for a "New Emerging Artist" award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards. In 2010, the band was again honored by the Americana Music Association as nominees for the"Best Duo/Group of the Year." In 2011, the band released their fifth album overall. The album was listed in the top 10 most played Americana Albums of 2011, marking the third album in a row to make the year end top 10 list. 

2013 provided the critically acclaimed album titled "Sunday Morning Record." The album charted to the number 2 spot on the Americana Charts and was selected as the Number One album in 2013 by "The Alternative Root." In addition, The Alternative Root in referring to its Top Fifty Americana Bands stated the following: "The number one spot was the easiest to place. Band  of Heathens epitomize Indie, building their band business from the ground up and keeping everything in-house."
