Elevating the Blues Experience
Beatdown Saints bring a fresh and dynamic edge to the blues. Drawing inspiration from the Black Crowes, Grateful Dead, and Gov’t Mule, their sound seamlessly blends hard-rocking Americana with jam band spontaneity. Known for their electrifying performances, dynamic range, and improvisational flair, the Beatdown Saints deliver a compelling mix of the old and the new. Their shows captivate audiences of all ages, making them an ideal choice to elevate any lineup with their unique energy and broad appeal.
The Players
The band is comprised of Mike Setzer (Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be Wild Tour) on bass and vocals, Todd Kasper (Smokin’ Js, Mind, Kiki Fabulous) on drums and vocals, and the extremely talented Marc Berger on guitar and vocals.
