Formed in the summer of 2012 by veterans of the Austin music scene and other successful bands, Canned Beets has built a buzz playing venues around Austin and Central Texas.
Members Rydog (guitar), Doug Leveton (drums), and Rolf Ordahl (keys/bass) came together as a way to explore the intersection of improvisation and solid pocket grooves. Leveton and Ordahl share a love for holding down heavy grooves including roots rhythms, New Orleans inspired organ funk, and straight up dance beats. Austin-native Johnson adds to the mix with funky wah-wah rhythms and the mind-blistering solos he has become known for in and around Austin.
