For drummer and songwriter Brian Sachs, MYND READER isnt just a band its a spiritual return to the healing power of rock and roll. A fixture of New York Citys legendary early-90s scene with his first band The Authority, Sachs helped fuel the citys funk-rock underground, sharing stages with Phish, Blues Traveler, and Dave Matthews Band, grinding out 200+ shows a year, playing iconic venues like Nightingales and holding down residencies at The Wetlands. After the sudden passing of their manager and mentor Bill Graham, one of the most powerful men in rock promotion, the dream dimmed, and Sachs eventually relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where he built a business career while quietly nurturing his lifelong connection to music.

In 2022, following a season of profound personal change, Sachs reunited with multi-instrumentalist Tonin. What began as a toast on the Fourth of July quickly sparked a creative fire and MYND READER was born a fusion of soul, grit, and transcendence that channels classic rocks raw spirit through a modern lens. Joined by powerhouse vocalist Shelby Kemp, the band crafts songs that live between darkness and light, rooted in timeless rock energy and emotional depth.

Their sound evokes The Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket, and Chris Stapleton a cinematic blend of Heavy roots, blues, and modern Americana designed to uplift and awaken. Mixed by seven-time GRAMMY winner Michael Brauer (Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, The Rolling Stones), MYND READERs eponymous debut albumcaptures that spirit across singles like Radio Warning topping at #24 on Billboards Rock Chart and Simply Avanti charting on the AAA Billboard chart. Their latest singles continue this momentum, following the success of the recently released radio version of Home, which climbed to #2 on the SMR Rock Chart (Secondary Market Rock), and Mourning Light that cracked the Billboard AAA chart in October, and so far has netted a #95 slot. Now, MYND READER has released a new single, Birdsong, which dropped on Oct. 31, 2025.
