The Band of Heathens

Formed by three Austin, Texas-based singer/songwriters, who often shared a bill at the Austin club Momo's were three individual acts. Band of Heathens was formed when these three individuals decided to share more than the bill and start a band. With the addition of drummer John Chipman and bassist Seth Whitney in 2007, the lineup was complete and the band began creating country rock together. The band's debut album was ranked #8 on the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of the Year list and the band has managed to garner more acclaim ever since.
