Rudder ist eine vier köpfige Instrumental Band aus New York.

Auf Basis einer tiefen musikalischen Beziehung und langjährigen Freundschaft, bringt dieses Quartett dynamischen Rock und ekstatische Atmosphäre in einer reinen instrumentalen Besetzung auf die Bühne.
 
Rudder ist frisch und fortschreitend.
Das radikale Live Erlebnis bei Rudder ist das aufregendste in der Szene seit Jahrzehnten, obwohl andere Bands wie Medeski, Martin and Wood sie als Kollegen bezeichnen, der Moment in dem das Publikum sich an der Energie von Rudder ansteckt, wird es klar, dass diese Band den neuen Standard in der Musikindustrie setzt. Die Band überträgt sofort ein belebendes und phänomenales Groove Erlebnis.

Ihr zeitloser Anklang ist total angesagt und für alle Genre Hörer zugänglich.
Sie erschaffen einen komplett neues Live Musik Erlebnis, mit einem rauen Groove von dem das Publikum nie genug kriegen kann. Das neue Album erscheint im März – pünktlich zu den Europa Konzerten.
Rudder – fantastische Musiker mit einer facettenreichen Herkunft – die Fans von Steely Dan bis John Mayer bis PM Dawn und Bad Plus in einer Band zusammenbringen.
Wo ist die Zukunft der Musik? Was ist Indie Jam Jazz? Welche Band kommt auf den Markt und präsentiert die neue Musikgeneration?
Rudder ist die Antwort.

Chris Cheek (saxophones)

is now somewhat of an icon in the saxophone world. His

playing has been heard for years with the Paul Motion electric bebop band. He is also

a member of Charlie Haden's Liberation Orchestra and has recently been playing with

guitar great Bill Frisell. As a leader, Chris has four noteworthy albums to his credit in

addition to appearing as a sideman on over 60 other CDs. This past summer Chris

toured with Fred Hirsh and Bill Frisell. With Rudder, Chris plays tenor, as well as

baritone sax and brings his unique usage of effects on his horn to the Rudder sound.

Henry Hey (keyboards)

has enjoyed a widely diversified musical career in New York.

He has toured and recorded with everyone from Jeff Watts, Alex Sipiagin, Bill Evans,

Bill Bruford, Monday Michiru and Till Broenner to Harry Belafonte, PM Dawn, Phil

Ramone, Richard Perry, and most recently extended world touring and television

appearances as pianist and shared musical director for Rod Stewart. This past year

Henry toured with Jeff 'Tain' Watts, Alex Sipiagin and Monday Michiru. Henry plays

rhodes, organ and unique synthesized and sampled textures with Rudder.

Tim Lefebvre (bass)

is one of the most skilled and sought after bass players in NY. Tim

has made appearances in Saturday Night Live's house band over the last few years -

his work has also been heard on The Apprentice, The Sopranos, Late Show With David

Letterman, The Knights of Prosperity (CBS), 30 Rock (NBC), Oceans 12, Ocean 's 13,

The Departed, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, and Analyze That!. He was also the

Musical Director/Leader on The Caroline Rhea Show on ABC. He has also appeared

recently with Chris Potter, Patti Austin, Uri Caine, and Dave Binney. This past year Tim

toured with Chuck Loeb, Dennis Chambers, Till Bronner, Eric Marienthal and Jim

Beard. Tim brings his incredible support and huge low sounds to the Rudder vibe.

Keith Carlock (drums)

is quickly becoming one of the most well-known and emulated

drummers on the planet. Early on, Keith and Tim formed the backbone that led to

some new directions in the trio of guitarist Wayne Krantz. It wasn't long before Keith

was heard by others and quickly became the drummer for the Blues Brothers. Shortly

after that he was sought out to follow in the footsteps of Peter Erskine and other

greats to sit at the drum chair of Steely Dan. Immediately following his first extended

tour with Steely Dan, Keith was on the road for a two-year tour with Sting. This past

year Keith toured with Steely Dan. Keith's singular sound and style are essential to the

groove of Rudder.
