With a band name like Redneck Jedi sometimes it’s a little hard to take this band seriously. A blend of country and rock, Redneck Jedi delivers it’s own brand of Texas music to fans all across the great State of Texas.
Originally formed in 2003, redneck Jedi can certainly talk about the past, but prefers to look to the future, and that future is bright for this three piece band.
The band includes Jedi veteran Dennis Phillips who was there from the start. “The early days, what can I say? Jedi’s history is colorful with several studio records, live CD’s, Texas Music Chart hits and more shows then I can remember, but as a musician and person we all grow,” said Dennis.
And grow, Redneck Jedi has. Returning Jedi member Daren Underwood and new drummer Courtney Watson, the band has grown to a tight three piece that knows how to put on a show and delivery the music fans want to hear. From George Strait to George Thorogood, Redneck Jedi has always had its roots planted deep in music the fans love.
Now in the studio for the fourth time, the band is working on ten brand new songs including the title track “Freedom.” “Freedom is a song I wrote for my grand father and father. I come from a line of men that have fought for this country and our freedoms, myself included, I just wanted people to know that these men and women keep us safe and have earned our respect,” said Dennis.
“During my break from redneck Jedi, I got a chance to work with a really talented guy, Jim Ragsdale. You will be able to hear his song writing skills on “Cajun Purgatory” as well as “Bummed out on a Bayou.” I knew the moment I heard these songs I wanted to record them and Jim will join us in the studio as well,” said Dennis.
The band has a lot of plans for the upcoming tour as the booking has begun and dates mark the calendar. “We hope to get to as many corners of Texas as possible, we have a lot of fans out there that have waited for us to return since the 2011 Road Runner Tour,” said Dennis. The band performed more than 140 dates for the Road Runner Tour and looks forward to hitting all their favorite hot spots across the state, and few they have not played.
So stay tuned here for more information, studio updates and tour dates which are being added all the time.

Press Release - New CD Release captures Texas Music
Independent Texas recording artist Redneck Jedi is proud to announce the 2015 CD release of Freedom.
Freedom is the bands seventh release over a 13-year span. "This CD is special, the songs come from personal experiences and is intended to honor those that have served, continue to serve and have given everything for our freedom," said Dennis Phillips, Executive Producer.
Phillips, also a member of the band and chief songwriter depicts within the music his personal experiences. "I come from a long line of service men. I'm proud of this country and those that defend her." The title track Freedom as well as Old Heroes resonates the theme of the CD. "Old Heroes is very personal for me, this was a kid that I saw everyday until the day I never saw him again," said Phillips.
The CD introduces new vocalist Edward Jones. Jones brings a Texas country sound to the band that truly highlights the overall feel of the new CD. Jones' vocal range is the focal point, but the music itself shines through giving this Redneck Jedi release a comprehensive feel for the listener.
"There is something here for everyone," said longtime bassist Daren Underwood. Freedom is a well-rounded CD that features sounds from many genres’ including country, southern rock, rock and a bit of blues. "We have always done that," said Underwood, "Every album has a little bit of everything, we just call it Texas music," said Underwood with a grin.
After months in the studio, "It seems like it has taken awhile to get this one done," said Dennis Phillips, "but perfection was the goal and both producers nailed it." The band recorded Freedom at Warroom Studios with Producer and Engineer Dustin Hendricks in Sherman, Texas. "Dustin has a lot of credentials under his belt and for this recording, Dustin just blew right past any boundaries to produce an amazing recording. He captured the band, our sound and feel," said Phillips.
The band has released the album through digital media such as iTunes and Amazon and physical copies will be ready for retail shelves at the end of April.
Supporting the CD with tour dates as well as radio releases, Redneck Jedi looks to rival their own 2009 Road Runner tour. "We covered a lot of ground in 2009, our fans are expecting us and we are not going to disappoint," said Phillips. The band has made several appearances in 2015 and look to add CD release shows to the immediate schedule.
