Biography

Greenbeard boasts heavy, heady sounds and high-energy performances. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the band blends early British heavy metal and psychedelia influences with big desert riffs and sedated stoner grooves. Their newest LP entitled “Variant” meanders into “desert soul” territory, with bluesy interludes and heartstrung, crooning vocals. Greenbeard emerged into the world in 2014 with a self-titled EP, followed in 2015 by their full-length “Stoned at the Throne”—mixed in L.A. by Adam Hamilton. After a few tears across the States and appearances at big-ticket festivals, they set to recording their second full-length “Lödarödböl” in the Fall of 2016—produced, mixed, and engineered with Matt Bayles at Red Room Recording in Seattle. In 2018, they recorded a teaser-EP “Onward Pillager”with producer Jeff Henson of brother-band Duel who also helmed sonic mastery for their latest album, “Variant” at Red Nova Ranch. Never content to simply stay the course, Greenbeard continues to showcase their range—both on stage and in the studio. They’ve traversed the edges of their genre and tread new sonic landscapes to conjure up something wholly familiar and yet starkly new. Current Lineup: Chance Parker (guitar/vocals), Buddy Hachar (drums), Pat Seals (bass), and Joe Samson (guitar).
