The Ries Brothers: Rock Band in New York

About The Ries Brothers

The Ries Brothers are a rock/pop duo from Tampa, Florida, rooted in reggae rock and modern blues. In performance, Charlie Ries sings lead while managing drums and keyboard bass, while Kevin Jordan handles guitar, backing vocals, and much of the songwriting. Their arrangements lean on groove and quick shifts in feel, borrowing from funk and reggae without abandoning rock structure. In New York City, they bring this rhythm-forward approach to rooms like Mercury Lounge, favoring tight interplay over excess.
