About
RUDDER
with Chris Cheek-sax, Henry Hey-keys, Keith Carlock-drums, Tim Lefebvre-bass
RUDDER is the most progressive and fresh voice to hit the music scene since Medeski, Martin and Wood and The Bad Plus.
Rudder’s radical live music experience is the most exciting to hit the scene in a decade; while groups such as Medeski, Martin and Wood are considered their colleagues, the moment the listener catches their infectious energy, it’s clear that Rudder is the new standard streaking through the industry. Defunking the scene of its tired and sloshy vibe, they feed the intense craving for organic and phenomenal groove experience.
Their timeless appeal is burning hot and accessible for listeners of all genres. Creating a completely new take on the live music experience, a raw and often hardcore groove leaves the audience begging for more. And with a March release scheduled for their new CD and an upcoming players feature in Downbeat Magazine already in progress, the buzz surrounding this band is unprecedented.
Visionary musicians with pedigrees of steel compose tune after tune to bring fans of everyone from Steely Dan to John Mayer to PM Dawn and Bad Plus together in one group. Where is the future of music? What is indie jam jazz? What is the most killer band to hit the streets in this generation?
Rudder is the answer.
As an icon in the sax world, ChRis ChEEk’s solo and side work with Bill Frisell, Charlie haden and Fred Hirsh has received accolades from The New Yorker and Downbeat magazine. His individual sound keeps him in high demand.
hEnRy hEy is a veteran of arena touring with Rod stewart, and recording with Roger Waters, Bill Bruford, Jeff Watts and an eclectic group of others.
Named number One Drummer of our time by Modern Drummer Magazine, kEiTh CaRlOCk continues to command drum chairs with James Taylor and steely Dan.
TiM lEFEBvRE, recently seen live with John Mayer, Jamie Cullum and Chris Botti, also frequents the snl band and lends his bass to soundtracks such as Oceans 12 & 13, The Departed, and more.
