The Band Of Heathens “Simple Things”

March 17, 2023 Martin Johnson 2

Back to basics in a high-end studio in Austin delivers lush roots rock. The Band of Heathens coalesced around three Austin-based singer-songwriters Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi, and Gordy Quist, and the band subsequently won Best New […]
