The Band of Heathens Nominated for Americana Award
. The nomination comes as the band's current album One Foot in the Ether reached #1 on the Americana airplay charts and has won critical kudos from the indie-rock, alt-country and jam press alike. In what will prove a pivotal year for the Band of Heathens, the quintet will also perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park in August, and at the Wakarusa festival in Arkansas. Also this past year, the band performed on the nationally televised PBS program Austin City Limits on a bill with Elvis Costello. The guys in the Band of Heathens are fond of saying they became a unit by accident. But one might argue that a kind of destiny was involved in the merger of singer/songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist and Colin Brooks with bassist Seth Whitney and drummer John Chipman, all of whom came from various solo careers and groups. Their new album, One Foot in the Ether, offers irrefutable evidence that they were meant to be together � and have evolved into a solid entity worthy of the comparisons they receive to the Black Crowes, the Band and Little Feat.
