ABOUT THE BAND
ARTIST BIO
JESSI MAULE - LEAD VOCALS / STEVE DICKSON - GUITAR / DUSTIN TABERSKI - BASS / LARRY BONE - DRUMS
Heavy, abrasive, and unapologetically loud, this bearded foursome out of South Bend, Indiana, draws influence from heavy hitters like Clutch, Orange Goblin, and Eyehategod—yet with equal parts groove, grime, and pure volume, they carve their own path through the world of riff-drenched rock n’ roll.
Chokesetter wasted no time building a loyal following across the Midwest and beyond. Since forming in 2018, this four-piece has carved a reputation as one of the hardest-hitting acts in their region. Clocking countless miles on the road, a relentless touring schedule that has forged them into a sonic powerhouse, sharing the stage with bands such as Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, EYEHATEGOD, Crobot, Truckfighters, and Texas Hippie Coalition.
With the Midwest as their proving ground, the band now set their sights on spreading their gospel of heaviness to new and exciting heights. Gritty as the pothole-scarred roads of Indiana and loud as a Sportster with straight pipes, Chokesetter is more than a band—they’re one of the Midwest’s best-kept secrets.
