Eddie Ray Band

The Eddie Ray Band is a unique entity. The band formed somewhat unexpectedly, yet very organically, in the Spring/Summer of 2017. Their fearless leader, affectionately named “Old Man Phil”, couldn’t have foreseen just what would transpire when he answered a craigslist ad to be an attendant for Brandon Rummel in late 2016. Brandon is a young man with cerebral palsy who also happens to be one of the biggest music freaks you’ll ever meet. He lives in a house filled with Beatles memorabilia and musical instruments, thanks to his mother who is a musician. He has a roommate named Nathan who loves country music and country breakfasts, though the jury is still out on which one he likes more. After a few months of working with Brandon, Ben entered the picture. Ben is a young man with a lot of energy and zeal for life. He happens to have Downs Syndrome and he has some pretty solid drumming skills. One morning Ben and “Mr. Phil” were chillin’ out at Mazama coffee house in Dripping Springs, Texas, when Ben decided he wanted to try and write a song. He wanted to write about his old friend Eddie. Ben provided a lot of detailed information and stories about his old friend; plenty to piece together a song. That day “The Eddie Ray Band” was born, and indeed… Eddie himself. 

Since then the band has amassed many new members and many new songs. The Eddie Ray Band is going strong with a lineup and energy unlike any other band, guaranteed!
