The Big River Bandits from The UK continue to perform as a 5-piece Americana/Country Rock band but co-writers Renee Sears & Gerry Power have become much more diverse in their writing, trying smooth jazz, pop and R&B.

Some of the songs are listed here for streaming and/or downloading.

Most are available for licensing, publishing or recording by other artistes and bands with prior consent from the copyright holders.

The success of their jazz music has led them to form another band called Renee Sears & The Jazz Set, which is gaining popularity in The UK.

Back to The Big River Bandits:
Their unique sound is a blend of new and old style country rock, swing, rockabilly and traditional country music.

They offer a refreshing new approach to country music with an exciting and exuberant live performance.

Lead vocalists Renee Sears and Gerry Power, also playing lead guitar wrote the 12 original songs on their debut album, ‘The Single Life’, which has been receiving radio airplay around the world with great reviews from DJ’s and major publications such as ‘Country Music People’.

They have been featured artist of the week on many local radio and internet shows and Renee has given several radio interviews.

‘High Wire’ reached number 11 in The UK’s official unsigned charts and ‘I’m Doin’ Fine’ was voted ‘Track Of The Day’ on garageband.com.

I've just to say thank you for your songs "Let's talk a walk" is my favourite. Lovely playing and vocals and the mood is so light and I can see this song in a movie with people dancing. What a great scene it would be. It's a lovely song for a gig as well, people are not going to sit still, that's for sure, everyone will be clapping and moving in a beat of the music.

RadioIndy Reviews: “The Single Life” is the debut release from The Big River Bandits, a versatile and talented group with a refined sound that blends traditional and contemporary styles of country music including bluegrass, rockabilly and swing. The lead vocals are shared by founding members Renee Sears and Gerry Power who co-write the band’s original material. Their highly-polished sound is characterized by honest lyrics, heartfelt vocals, and spirited instrumental performances. The group’s mastery of the traditional country style is evident with the energetic “Girls Night Out” and the good-humored “Whisky Dinker's Lament,” with Sears providing the vocals on the former and Power on the latter. “She Don’t Care” is another strong traditional number, featuring a notable lead guitar performance from Power. “Let's Take A Walk” is a more contemporary track featuring a funky groove, baritone sax and blistering lead guitar by Power. “Little Pieces Of My Heart” shows that the group can also shine while performing lovely ballads, and Sears gives a expressive, sincere performance. Sears also infuses her personality into the playful title track “The Single Life,” demonstrating her infectious style and soulful vocal approach. This album will appeal to the young and old, freestyle and line dancers, and fans of both traditional and contemporary country music.
