About Brady Rymer
Brady Rymer is a three-time GRAMMY® Award nominee and one of the top talents in the independent family music scene today. Originally with RCA Records 90’s era jam-band From Good Homes, Rymer began making rootsy, feel-good family music in 2000 with the birth of his son, Gus.
Together with his longtime band-mates in the Little Band That Could – who have worked alongside Springsteen, Odetta and Ronnie Spector, they have toured nationally for more than a decade performing at the Getty Museum, Lincoln Center, The White House and his neighbor’s house. NPR’s All Things Considered noted that the Little Band That Could “might just be the best sounding band in family music.” Songs Across the Pond is his eleventh studio album.
Rymer’s song “Jump Up (It’s A Good Day)” was included on the 2013 album Songs for a Healthier America, a compilation album produced for First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign. In 2016, he joined Jordin Sparks and Doug E. Fresh on “0 to 60,” a new theme song recorded for the President’s Council on Fitness. Brady’s 2011 Parents’ Choice Gold Award winning album Love Me for Who I Am, an appreciation of children of all abilities, was inspired by his collaborative work with kids with autism and different learning styles.
When he’s not chuggin’ along with the Little Band That Could, Brady plays bass guitar with the Laurie Berkner Band and performs and records with his recently reunited ‘grown up’ band From Good Homes. He lives on the North Fork of Long Island and serves on the Education Board of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
