Riley J Band

The Riley J Band is a vibrant neo-soul/pop band based in Boulder, Colorado, led by the deeply soulful vocalist Riley J. With a sound rooted in groove and driven by emotional authenticity, the band draws inspiration from diverse artists such as Amy Winehouse, Lawrence, Billie Eilish, Lake Street Dive, and Yebba.

Formed in 2023, Riley J Band quickly built momentum in the local live-scene—beginning with patio shows at Trident Café, progressing to performances at the Roots Music Project, and ultimately celebrating a headline appearance at Boulder’s Fox Theatre in early 2025.

Their live energy is captured on the EP “The Caribou Sessions” tracked live at The Caribou Room in Nederland, Colorado. The record showcases the band’s raw musicianship, Riley J’s commanding vocal presence, and a playful yet penetrating songwriting approach.

At its core, the Riley J Band delivers music that traverses genres—infusing each performance with a soulful swing, magnetic energy, and a reverence for real, heartfelt expression. Whether onstage or in the studio, this is a band committed to groove, emotion, and connection.
