THE NAUTS is a new band that brings together folk-rock hero DAVE MATTHEWS with rock & roll progeny JAKOB DYLAN, best known for his work with band THE WALLFLOWERS and the fact that his dad is revered music icon BOB DYLAN.

News of new band was released by Mix (via Rolling Stone), which reported that THE NAUTS grew out of a casual jam session with the two artists alongside guitarist Charlie Sexton, his brother Will Sexton and drummer Brady Blade At Blade's Shreveport, LA, studio.

The Mix article also serves as the band's bio on the Shreveport music website UNSCENE! (rumors have the band making its live debut in Shreveport as part of the UNSCENE! concert series).

Charlie Sexton, who had a solo career as a teenager in the '80s with singles like 'Beat's So Lonely,' already has ties with the DYLAN  family, having played lead guitar in Bob Dylan's tour band back in the late '90s/early 2000s as well as sporadically from 2009 through the elder Dylan's 2013 tour.
