Bio

Rayburn Brothers Band

The Rayburn Brothers Band blend a wide range of influences into a sound all their own, drawing from folk, rock, Americana, country, reggae, and jazzy blues. Brothers Craig and Keith Rayburn bring a rare, natural harmony to their songwriting and performance, pairing graceful melodies with thoughtful lyrics and deft musicianship.

Whether performing acoustically in intimate settings like the Albatross Wine Bar or igniting the dance floor with hundreds of line dancers at the California Rodeo Big Hat Barbecue, the Rayburn Brothers Band deliver a show that connects with audiences at every level. Their music is full of surprises—dynamic, heartfelt, and rich with unexpected turns.

Often compared to artists such as the Eagles, Neil Young, Los Lobos, and Jackson Browne, the Rayburn Brothers Band have built a strong and loyal following and continue to expand their reach throughout the Central Coast.

Press / Reviews

"There is something very intoxicating about Keith's songs. I'm a big fan of not only the music I've worked on with him, but his previous recordings I first heard a couple years ago."

Joe Beck, Award winning Writer/Producer/Artist/ Co-founder of Songwriting University

 

" The Rayburn Brothers are an excellent band with amazing vocal harmonies!"  

Bob Prikazsky, El Vaquero Winery

 

"The next time you want to hear an album with pristine production just pop in Back To California by Rayburn Brothers Band. Everything from the guitars to the drums to the vocals fit 
perfectly in their own pocket. Production and recording quality are important factors when  assessing an album but above all else it needs to have substantial songs, which have some sort of 
emotional impact. I’m happy to say that Back To California also succeeds in that department as  well." 
Ted Rogen, Equal Ground, Indie Band Reviews

"The Rayburn Brothers Band takes the art of great songwriting, mixes it with tasteful  musicianship, and delivers it with a fun and buoyant energy that’s equal parts Americana,  rock, folk and country. The spirit in their music is fun, infectious and genuine — and it’s  delivered with a heartfelt respect to the timeless songwriters in California’s rich history. "

Andy Zenczak ~ Producer, Gadgetbox Studios, Santa Cruz, winner of the Gail Rich Award

"... a rough-hewn folk-rock sound that evokes the wild vistas of the West." Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel
