Bozeman’s Bad Neighbors fuse alt rock, pop punk, classic rock, and a touch of country. Lead vocalist and Missouri-born drummer Brett Griesbaum channels powerful vocals and rhythmic prowess. Bassist Kevin Omadt, hailing from Minnesota, lays the foundation with pulsating basslines. Rhythm guitarist Cooper Simmons, a Michigan native, adds emotional hooks and rockin’ intros. Lead guitarist Hoyt Mangrum, all the way from Georgia, delivers fiery solos and harmonies. Their covers like “Burnin’ For You” and “Mr. Brightside” highlight their diverse influences, while heartfelt originals like “Best Part of Me” showcase their genre-blending charm.

Jack Oosterhuis, known for bringing together a posse of jammers weekly at the Haufbrau open mic, gets the party started with original tunes.
