Dave Matthews and Jakob Dylan (the son of Bob Dylan and vocalist for The Wallflowers) have joined forces to create the supergroup The Nauts. Also in the band are Bob Dylan guitarist Charlie Sexton, his brother Will Sexton, and Brady Blade (who has accompanied Matthews on drums in the past).

The band has recently recorded new material in Shreveport, Louisiana at Brady Blade’s studio.

Unscene!, a music website based in Shreveport, has posted a biography on The Nauts:

“What started out as a fun project for Brady Blade to get some musicians together and jam—such as Dave Matthews, Jakob Dylan, Charlie Sexton and Will Sexton—has turned into a full-fledged band called The Nauts, and this newly formed group has been working on a forthcoming record. Blade, a rock/pop/country drummer, record producer, composer, and Blade Studios partner—along with Scott Crompton (executive producer and CEO) and mix engineer Chris Bell—is also a part of The Nauts, who recorded the new material in the Russ Berger-designed Studio A on a 48-channel SSL Duality SE. Other equipment of note includes Neve 1081 and API 512mic preamps; Universal Audio LA-2A compressors; and Telefunken 251, Mojave 300 and Royer R-122 mics. The Nauts produced the tracks, with Bell serving as engineer.”

The band is expected to play live as part of an Unscene! concert series in Shreveport.
