The best songs, records, and bands transport you back to the first moment you heard them each and every time they play. Whether you saw Better Than Ezra at a house party after they formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University, heard "Good" on the radio when it hit #1 in 1995, became a fan after Taylor Swift's famous cover of "Breathless" in 2010, or saw them headlining sheds in 2018, you'll never forget your first introduction to the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals, guitar, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass, backing vocals].
Those hummable melodies, unshakeable guitar riffs, and candid lyrics quietly solidified the band's place as a rock music mainstay. How many performers can claim to have inspired a great Saturday Night Live skit? There aren't many. Better Than Ezra was named one of Billboard's top "100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time" in 2018, and they are presently in the studio working on new songs.
