Biography
H-Beam's wild stage show pulls influences from a strong upbringing in the entertainment industry. By fusing aspects of theater and music, the band fathers a musical variety show resembling genes of Rocky Horror and Frank Zappa. Sweeping, psychedelic melodies and bizarre lyrical content propel their sets, as slews of props and masks add to their outrageous on-stage antics. With elaborate compositions pushed to the boundary by weird twisted humor, H-Beam captivates audiences by leaving them with a unique musical experience. The band harnesses the power of sheer sensory overload and imprints a lasting memory in the minds of those that dare to stray from the comforts of predictable rock formulas.
Over the last two years, H-Beam has performed nearly 175 shows traveling from Nashville to the Midwest, Northeast and all through the South. Showcasing their talent two years in a row at Next BIG Nashville and RedGorilla Music Fest during SXSW in Austin, TX, H-Beam has also performed at several festivals including the Terrapin Hill Festival, Rites of Spring, Waterfest, Vexfest, and more. H-Beam has shared the stage with artists such as, Benevento-Russo Duo, Keller Williams, Feist, Lil' Jon, Tea Leaf Green, Nappy Roots, Grace Potter, and The Samples. Along with their live performances H-Beam's music is also receiving airplay on stations such as Nashville's 102.9 The Buzz, WRVU 91.1, Knoxville's WUTK, Philly's Endless Boundaries Radio, Youngstown, Ohio's Rukus Radio, Circle7 Radio, and is being broadcasted in the UK, Japan, and the Netherlands.
"If onstage theatrics and an epic throwback to the psychedelia and experimentation of the 1960s are your style, be sure to check out H-Beam. The psychedelic and classic rock sound that H-Beam brings to the table will have you dancing and playing air guitar till you drop to your knees. " -Versus Entertainment
