Ries Brothers

The Ries Brothers (pronounced ”Rees”), a duo from St Petersburg, FL, blend rock, blues, jam, funk, and reggae into a soulful-sophisticated sound. Older brother Charlie (27) sings lead vocals while simultaneously playing drums and keyboard bass giving the band its unique and full sound. Younger brother Kevin Jordan (24) completes the band’s “sonic creativity” on guitar, ukulele, melodica, and provides background vocals. The band  started playing the Florida bar circuit as young teenagers where they were discovered by the band  CHICAGO  and were taken out on two  regional  tours prompting them to leave school and focus on music full time.
