First active musically as a teenager in Louisville’s underground hardcore scene, Rinehart's first band Flight Nineteen played with seminal underground acts like At The Drive In, Joan of Arc, & Hot Water Music.  

His first solo album “Memories Are Hunting Horns," released in 2010 under the pseudonym “Saredren Wells”, featured a new and very different direction,  situating him alongside off-kilter folk artists like Daniel Johnston, & Bonnie “Prince” Billy.  He toured briefly following the release, sharing the stage with fellow troubadours Steve Gunn & famed queer folk artist Ed Askew.    

Relocating to NYC, Rinehart co-founded both The Body Actualized Center, a DIY arts space in Brooklyn, and the "New Age Boy Band" 'Splash', whom he toured the US with in the Summer of 2012 (supporting the band Friends). 

Turning his attention back to solo work in 2013, Rinehart released “The Funeral Home Sessions,” a 3-song EP of tributes to Fugazi's Ian Mackaye, Neil Young, & folk legend Elizabeth Cotten.  
 
In 2015 Rinehart released "Nothing/Everything,” his most ambitious work to date.  A 15-song double album LP (released on LA's Buddyhead Records), “Nothing/Everything” highlighted his chameleon-like talent for genre hopping.  In turn melancholy and magnanimous, a deft synthesis of all of his previous projects, “Everything” improves on the old while hinting at something new.  

Subsequent singles he's released recently include "Protect", "Death Time" (Feat. Charles),  "Off On A Roll With The Soul", "Interdimensional Nonconversational Inconsequential Love" & "They Say".  His next single "Sight Unseen" was released in February of last year.

when i was in 6th grade, i lived next door to billy and bryant and they were my best friends. i would get billy in a full nelson and bryant would give him a big slobbery kiss on his forehead, which would drip all down his face. i thought this was the funniest thing ever
