The Ries Brothers blend rock, blues, jam, funk, and reggae into a soulful-sophisticated sound.
The Ries Brothers blend rock, blues, jam, funk, and reggae into a soulful-sophisticated sound. Older brother Charlie sings lead vocals while expertly playing drums and keyboard bass simultaneously while younger brother Kevin Jordan rounds out the band’s sonic creativity on guitar, ukulele, melodica and provides background vocals. The band started playing the Florida bar circuit as young teenagers where they were discovered by the band CHICAGO, and their inimitable live performances have captured fans across the musical landscape leading to marquee support slots with G. Love, Stick Figure, Pepper, Galactic, Stephen Marley, 311, Iration, Badfish, David Shaw of The Revivalists and many more as well as major festival bookings including Okeechobee, Gasparilla, Summer Camp and more. They released their self-titled EP in August which leaned heavy towards Rock, Blues and jam, and included standout tracks “Corner Store” and “On the Road” ft. G. Love & Special Sauce and Cas Haley.
