About The Breakovers

3-piece bluegrass/folk/Americana band from the hills of the Sierra Nevadas with a passion for tight harmonies and soulful storytelling

Our Story

The Breakovers formed in 2024 when three total strangers found a connection through their common fiddle teacher. After a few jam sessions, three lasting friendships were formed, with a foundational love of bluegrass music and storytelling. Since then, the band has worked hard to deliver joy into the world, raising moods, and capturing audiences with soulful lyrics and beautiful harmonies.
