Broken Monk
L to R: Sean, Jace, Rick, Matt

Rock never dies! But it does evolve... At the heart of its existence, Broken Monk is on a mission to push the endless boundaries of rock music composition. Its four members come together with different tastes and influences, which combine to form their unique style of music. With so many influences coming together, the band is able to achieve a variety of different sounds while staying true to their approach. Sean comes from a background of 80’s rock with training in jazz guitar playing and vocals which have been compared to the sounds of Staind, Tool, and Metallica. Jace brings to the table a love for rock and old school punk. He is a versatile bassist, able to play with the speed of punk rock, or with the elegance of classical music. Matt has heavy influences from the guitars of modern rock and modern punk. Within Broken Monk compositions you can catch his use of effects and trademark octave slides over the fretboard. Rick adds a lot of energy to the songs with his quick and powerful drumming. He has a strong interest in jazz drumming and definitely makes use of those skills while composing. While maintaining a dedication to the evolution of rock music, the members of Broken Monk also dedicate their energy to performances. No matter what the venue or size of the crowd, Broken Monk is sure to give each and every performance 110%! The band unanimously agrees that one fan at a performance deserves the same energy and quality as 1,000 fans at a performance. Whether you’re looking for great music or an awesome live performance, Broken Monk is guaranteed to deliver, every time!
