KENTUCKY RUCKUS is a bourbon-fueled rock band from the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. Starting in 2013 as C2 & The Brothers Reed, brothers Kelly and Kody Reed (guitar; drums) began seasoning the South with rock ‘n soul. In mid 2019, C2 & The Brothers Reed began touring with frontman Matt Red Moore (vocals) and Mack Keiffer (bass), both of rock band Edgar Red. The newly acquainted quartet re-established themselves as Kentucky Ruckus in early 2020. The band's sound is founded on their genetic and musical inseparability catapulted by the raw energy and pure rowdiness of their live performance. This sonic situation begins with two brothers in a barn, a guitar-and-drum duo who nurtured an unrivaled rhythmic connection while growing up together in the central Kentucky hills. A heavy-picked bass style corresponds aggressively with the kick drum, and gritty upper-register vocals complete the high-energy no-rules rock sound that is Kentucky Ruckus. The group’s first studio album, Space Is A Place, is slated for release by the end of 2020. Produced and engineered by Tom Tapley at West End Sound (Atlanta, GA), the album demonstrates an earth-quaking drum and bass combo, smoking hot guitar-and-keys solo tradeoffs, and searing vocal range. They will perform from 9-10:30pm.
