Americana Rock in Minneapolis, MN
About Man Down
Born in the Twin Cities, this four-piece Americana outfit blends the grit of rock, the soul of R&B, and the storytelling heart of country roots. What began as a tongue-in-cheek name for a duo—Jon (vocals, guitar) and Ryan (vocals, bass)—has grown into a full-force quartet with Tony on guitar and pedal steel, and Jeff on drums. The name stuck, and so did the spirit: honest, unpretentious, and built for the long haul.
Their sound is a mix of twang and groove, where pedal steel shimmers over driving rhythms and dual vocals carry tales of the strange beauty of the everyday. Man Down crafts songs fit for dive bars, backyards, and open highways. Whether on stage or in the studio, the band delivers tight music, friendship and rock & roll.
