  • Bio

    .. Damon & the Heathens are a six-piece punk soul band from Oakland, California. We combine the sounds of New Orleans brass bands with Detroit garage rock, blues, jazz, and funk to create a sound best described as horn-fueled Oakland grit. Known for a raucous live show and a tight sound, the only thing holding us back now is our bar tab.

Damon and the Heathens mix it up with thrashes of punk rock.” ....Silicon Valley Metro........ Contact us at ..OaklandGrit@Gmail.com......
