The Band of Heathens are an American rock 'n' roll band from Austin, Texas since 2005. Founding members Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist remain at the center of the band as primary songwriters and guitarists along with Trevor Nealon on keys who has been with the band since 2008. In 2009 the band was invited to record an episode of Austin City Limits on the heels of the release of their album, One Foot In The Ether. The band has found continued success almost 20 years into their existence, the most recent being the release of their critically-acclaimed new album, Simple Things (BOH Records, 2023), and their recording of the song "Hurricane" was just certified gold by the R.I.A.A. (from Top Hat Crown & the Clapmaster's Son, 2011). Simple Things sat at #1 on the official Americana radio chart for 2 months in 2023 and in the top 10 for almost half of the year. The Simple Things album release also earned the band a national TV appearance on CBS Saturday Morning, and added to their already impressive streaming numbers. The band's discography has been collectively streamed close to a billion times. The Band of Heathens has remained fiercely independent from day one, turning down record deals and forging their own path in the world on their own terms.
