The Bredren
The Bredren was an alt-rock/ska/reggae band hailing from Orange County, California with a pedigree that included music industry veterans.
The long-term members were Evan Kilbourne (Save Ferris, Lit) on drums, Chris Colonnier (Jeffries Fan Club) on keyboards, Tre Coronado and Santiago DeGuzman (both from For Pete’s Sake) on guitars, Danny Knapp on bass guitar, and Tanya Jebeile on lead vocals. The band achieved critical acclaim for several of their songs, including “Stronger Than Before”, “Already Gone”, and “Cali Livin'”.
