Brothers Keeper is a trio that displays heart and soul and rock and roll. The core

band consists of Scott Rednor on guitar, Michael Jude on bass, and John Michel on drums.

Their superior skills have attracted some distinguished friends to come along for the ride. In the past year, for instance, they recorded and toured with Blues Traveler’s John Popper.

The current tour features (on guitar and vocals) Jono Manson, the co-producer (with the band) of BK’s last CD, Todd Meadows, and multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby, who’s

worked with Susan Tedeschi, Robert Randolph, Phil Lesh, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Hailing from attitude-ridden east coast backgrounds, the three men transplanted to

the Vail and Roaring Fork Valleys in Colorado for both the mountains and the music. For the past 15 years, Michael and John have played steadily with the John Oates Band (Hall and Oates) and many other world renowned musicians, while Scott has been involved in

recording and touring projects on a national level for more than 20 years. Scott now owns Shakedown Bar in Vail where he serves as Music Director, bringing

in national talent for locals and tourists from around the world. It is there that the trio has made their home amongst an amazing cast of rotating musicians as well as several

“Brothers Keeper Featuring Series” shows. Jono Manson is from New York City and helped pioneer the Nightingales/Wetlands

uprising that had spawned Phish, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, and many more successful bands. Rednor had opened up for High Plains Drifter, which was a super group of sorts,

fronted by Manson and featuring members of a few of these bands. It was the recollection of that raucous rock and roll that inspired this initial collaboration with Brothers Keeper.

This led to Brother’s Keeper’s first album, Todd Meadows, released on 8150 Records late in September of 2014. It’s an Americana/Rock n Roll album, featuring 5 lead singers,

bringing together their wealth of experience and a wide range of musical styles. The LP was written by the band in Santa Fe and recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis,

Tennessee, in June of 2013. Other guests on the album include Jason Crosby (Phil Lesh and Friends), Glenn McClelland (Ween), DJ Logic, Joel Guzman, Rob Eaton Jr., and John Popper.

This is a Rock n roll outfit that you haven’t seen in a long, long time!

"Brothers Keeper is a rebellious rabble of hearty mountain warriors, raucously and relentlessly rewriting the remaining rules relating to rock & roll's real religious remnant Rockies style!! Ragtag tactics, touted to this tremendously tenured trio's tradecraft take on a tenacious tambour as this terrific team rollicks, wriggles & writes really meaningful melodic metal twanged tonnage of no trickery... Just amazing asskickery!! If you don't get a chance to play with them, get their disk at all costs! On iTunes, uptown, in house, or out back!!...You'll thank me when U do..." John Popper (Grammy Award Winner, Blues Traveler Frontman)

“I saw "Brothers Keeper" live recently in Aspen Colorado and I was blown away. Even though I've played with Bassist Michael Jude and Drummer John Michel for many years the new line up is killer. This band is a collection of songwriters, kick ass players and singers...that's pretty much sums up what I look for in a band… What they are.” John Oates (Hall and Oates) "Brothers Keeper should be recognized for making amazing organic music. Every time I have played with them I find myself learning more about their great musical talents…they are so much fun to play with and listen too as well. Their unique vocal arrangements and professional approach on their instruments are second to none.” Richie Cannata (Billy Joel, Elton John)

"I had the pleasure of sitting in with Brother's Keeper over a long weekend at the shakedown bar in vail. it was a joy to play w/such great musicians... solid, creative grooves, plenty of energy, plenty of chops, but plied with more creativity than ego... and everyone sings - WELL! (that's a rare thing). On top of all that, they're writing KILLER rock songs. I’m looking forward to the release of the new record with a great deal of anticipation. If you have the chance go see this band... go. It's great listening and you can dance the night away (and lemme tell ya, they do EXACTLY that at the shakedown bar)." Mark Karan (Ratdog) “I’ve had the good fortune of being involved with Brothers Keeper for the past 3 years, both recording and performing live shows. Their musicianship and song writing is world-class and spot on. They will be gracing stages throughout the world soon. It is always my pleasure to join in with the Brothers.” Glenn "Gmac" McClelland (Blood Sweat and Tears/ WEEN/ Smokey Robinson)
