About Me

Dread Pirate Roberts rocks with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. This 4 piece ensemble hails from Denver, CO and contains these rapscallions.
Matt Bergen The leader of the pack, lead singer, rhythm guitar, and all around gentleman.
Kirk "Battle Axe" Severson Lead Guitar, Back Up Vocals, suave AND debonair.
3. Eric Trevino - The Hammer, providing bass to rock your bottoms.
4. Eric Martens Iron Cobra, creating a whirlwind of rhythm backing the percussion section.
These scoundrels performed for a year and a half throughout Denver at venues such as: The Bluebird, Hermans Hideaway, Larimer Lounge, Cricket on the Hill, Climax Lounge, Oriental Theater, and The Walnut Room. They have been making sweet, sweet melodies for over 3 years. Taking aim at modern rock, they intend to provide a blend of rock through the ages. Dipping into the pools of Rock, Blues, Funk, Swing, Adult Contemporary, and of course wading in the shallow end of Metal. They are chock full of energy, enthusiasm, and some other eword emotion. DPR (lets drop the formalities) will indeed provide you with hours, perhaps even hours and minutes of entertainment.
