Beaten Awake Tickets

Beaten Awake is a veteran indie rock outfit formed in 2005 in Kent, Ohio. Fronted by a shifting lineup led by Jon Finley, Ryan Brannon, Allen Karpinski, and Joel McAdams, the band has carved out a moody, folk-tinged lo-fi sound that nods to the ’90s indie scene and bands like Sebadoh. Their early work helped establish a deal with Audio Eagle, with Fat Possum later distributing material in association with Audio Eagle. Beaten Awake has a storied live history, including opening for Daniel Johnston and touring with The Black Keys, Heartless Bastards, and Dax Riggs.

On the discography front, their debut album, Let’s Get Simplified (2007), set the stage for a second wave of releases, including Thunder$troke (2009) on Fat Possum Records, described as a collaboration-heavy, melodic indie rock effort. The 7" single Coming Home (2009) showcased Fat Possum’s distribution reach. While public tour dates for 2025 aren’t listed, Beaten Awake’s music remains accessible to new listeners through Bandcamp and legacy channels, inviting fans old and new to explore their moody, textured sound.

Beaten Awake’s sound is grounded in thoughtful guitar work, restrained percussion, and introspective lyricism that captures a sense of place and time from the Ohio indie scene.
