Bryant formed the RedEye Band together with his father, Ken Bryant, on bass and Andy Burt on drums. Burt left the band in 2004 due to differences in musical direction[2] and was replaced by Dave Raeburn who, in turn, left the band in 2005 due to other commitments outside the band.[3] Raeburn was replaced by Trevor Barr who, to this day, is their current drummer. 2009 marked the band's 10-year anniversary, which was celebrated through a "10th anniversary tour" across Europe. So far the band have released seven albums. Just As I Am is their latest, 2010 release.[4] The Band are due to record their first live DVD on 17th September 2011 in Rosmalen, Holland.[5]
