They say it takes nearly a decade for a wine to mature. The same could be said for The RT’s (formerly The Rad Trads). If you caught their brand of raucous, beer-soaked trad jazz and blues in the early days, you‘ll see the same ingredients (boisterous horns, impassioned vocals, and a driving groove) but a new flavor, and the kind of maturity and subtlety that only comes with time.

“The RT’s are the pizza of bands. You’re always in the mood for it,”
– Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive)

“Their live performances can turn into a Saturday night church meeting, fueled by the fact that all five of them can sing. You’re gonna love these guys.”
— KUTX 98.9, Austin

“The RT’s perform music that’s a confluence of excellent musicianship, deft writing, and one wicked sense of humor.”
— PopMatters

“Genre-defying, entertaining-for-everyone…these guys seem like they can do whatever they put their minds to.”
— MAGNET Magazine
