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.”
He has released 12 studio albums. 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.

“Starts out catchy and keeps its audience moving throughout. When it comes to entertaining kids, Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could definitely can.”
“ His resonant songs stay cozily close to home yet encourage imaginations to soar in a world of wonder and possibility.”
“Lest anyone think this is musical Pablum, think again. His music has a rock ‘n’ roll heart.”
“After sharing a stage with Dave Matthews and Joan Osborne, Rymer applies his adult contemporary style and warm vocals to kid topics. Parents will rock out to these stirring songs right along with their tykes.”
