With their hybrid brand of acoustic-grounded storytelling and spiritually-fueled country music, Palestine, TX-based Band Reeves brothers Jeramy and Cody Reeves release their debut Centricity Music EP, My Country. Available now at streaming and digital outlets everywhere HERE, the duo kicks up some dust on all six of the EP’s handcrafted songs that fuse complementary country and Christian musical genres rooted in life in the country and the faith that sustains them.
“Along with Band Reeves’ lead single “Outrun You,” My Country includes the title track going to radio for adds. An original co-written by Jeramy and Cody along with Brad Rempel of High Valley and GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Dove Award-winning Nick Schwarz, who also produced the single, “My Country” readily lays out the duo’s mission.
“We want to do what honors and glorifies the Lord,” Cody says. “We want our music to absolutely speak Scripture and be biblically based, but we also want it to reflect the country kind of lifestyle we live.”
Jeramy adds, “‘My Country’ is a song that lets people know who we are and what to expect from our music.”
“My Country” Chorus
My country’s got a little rock and roll
Good news rollin’ outta that radio
Roots down till the good Lord calls me home
I’ll be growin’ old in my country
My country knows that amazing grace
Ain’t only saved for them Sundays
Give back when they pass the plate
I thank God everyday for my country
Back 40 to the back pew
Three chords and the gospel truth
Keep the letters red and the collars blue
That’s just what we do in My Country
Band Reeves is forging their own unique path on a patch of back 40 dirt where blue-collar living, big family dinners and campfire worship all converge. These two preacher’s kids have experienced their own radical change, and the evidence is in the songs they’re writing, the children they’re raising (Jeramy is the father of eight; Cody is the father of two) and the lives they are building.
“We want to write songs about real, everyday life. We’re everyday construction workers just trying to live out our faith on the job, going through the same things in life everybody else is going through. That’s what makes our music relatable,” says Jeramy. “I want people to know that God wants to step into your daily life; and when He does, He radically changes you in the best way possible.”
The full My Country EP tracklisting follows:
1) Outrun You
