Brother duo, Band Reeves, is using their deep-seated Southern roots to spread the hope and love of Jesus through their newly released album, “Traveler.”
Jeramy and Cody Reeves were born and raised in East Texas. As ministry kids, their faith and trust in Jesus Christ were embodied and lived out daily by their loving and supportive parents. This shaped their devotion to ministry and heart for reaching the lost as they became young men, particularly through the avenue of music.
