The Rayo Brothers may be new to the scene, but music is in their blood. Brothers Daniel and Jesse Reaux hail from a musical family that includes Grammy-nominated Lost Bayou Ramblers and traditional Cajun bands. The brothers have struck a new path, infusing their folk and Gospel music roots with rock band enthusiasm and Daniel’s keen songwriting abilities. Featuring sibling harmonies and a variety of mostly acoustic instruments, and with the backing of drummer and mandolinist Lance Kelehan and bassist Jordan Ardoin, The Rayo Brothers put on a rollicking show that flows from raucous foot-stompers to intimate singer/songwriter tunes and everywhere in between. Offbeat Magazine says The Rayo Brothers “build a unique tapestry of Americana, lending a visceral edge missing from most folk throwback acts.” Since their inception at a 2012 songwriting competition in their home town of Lafayette, Louisiana, The Rayo Brothers have quickly risen to notoriety in the southern folk scene, appearing in festivals, venues, and radio waves across the Gulf Coast. In 2014, thanks to the contributions of their committed fans, the band was able to fund their debut album, Gunslinger, entirely through an online crowd-funding campaign.
