The Band Of Heathens in Baton Rouge

The Band Of Heathens is an American roots-rock band formed in Austin, Texas, in 2005 around singer-songwriters Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist and Colin Brooks. Its music draws on Americana, country, blues and Southern rock, and its best-known recordings include “Hurricane” and the albums Duende, Stranger and Simple Things. A weekly residency at Momo’s established the group as a live act, as its founding songwriters traded lead vocals and original material before expanding the lineup. The early release Live from Momo’s documented those performances, followed by another concert recording, Live at Antone’s.
