Rooted in Blues, Americana, Swamp Rock, and Funk, the Schaffer Brothers Band creates raw, no-frills music with a focus on grit, groove, and storytelling. Based in Grand Junction, Colorado, brothers Tyler and Kyle Schaffer bring deep-pocket rhythms, story telling, unique progressions, and jam band improvisation into a sound that’s both familiar and fresh.​ The band’s live show is where it all comes together: Tight, funky, and driven jams built for barrooms, festival stages, and anywhere people appreciate authenticity. Influenced by artists like Leon Russell, JJ Cale, Delbert McClinton, Randy Newman, Little Feat, Waylon Jennings and many others, the Schaffer Brothers seamlessly mix tight songwriting with the freedom of extended jams. With new original music in the works and a growing reputation in the Colorado music scene, the band is steadily building a following one show at a time. Whether it’s a stripped-down roots tune or a funk driven jam, Schaffer Brothers Band brings authenticity to every set.
