Show Notes

Episode 254: Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist have built a remarkable creative partnership over the past 17 years, ever since their fates collided at an Austin bar called Momo's. Songwriter residencies blurred into a proto band, and before long they were killing it in Texas and beyond as The Band of Heathens. It's been a consistent, resilient group, releasing impressive albums and playing soul satisfying country flavored rock and roll with excellent songwriting and singing. The most recent album Simple Things proved their staying power nationwide with a run of six weeks at No. 1 on the Americana airplay chart. Ed and Gordy join Craig from their homes in Austin and Asheville for a talk about origins, evolution and longevity.
