The Holy Broken is a Blues, Rock, and Soul outfit that covers the classics and the unconventional in a way that gets everybody groovin' and movin'. From B.B. King to The Black Keys and everything in between nothing is forbidden for these guys. If there's a song they don't do, they'll learn it and if not they're write one for ya. The members of Holy Broken have performed all over the world and bring all that experience to you in a nice little Rock and Roll combo that is dirty, bluesy, soulful, and fun.
Wow oh wow, did The Holy Broke deliver!! Everything they played and sang was an absolute wonderful experience!!! I couldn’t stay in my seat! Even requests were fulfilled with perfection!
Not only, was their sound great, the personalities of these performers are amazing. My main contact was the lead singer and he was most accommodating and responsive. Cannot recommend more highly.

You can expect yourself getting caught up in it.
A five-piece Blues/Rock/Soul band from West San Fernando Valley, CA – The Holy Broken is a band built on unity, superb talent and genuine love & respect for the music they create and share with others. Starting out originally in pursuit of forming a band to play cover-tunes, the four members quickly discovered their unique sound & connection to each other…that the bond between them and the music they were making was fast becoming something truly special and inspiring them to create songs of their own.
Influenced by the classic Blues style of BB King to the sheer Rock & Soul sounds of Jimi Hendrix – The Holy Broken are just as inspired by the recent electrifying-sounds of The Black Keys, Jack White, Alabama Shakes & many more. Currently comprised of Scott Persico (Guitar), John Marossy (Bass), Mark Alderette (Drums), Adam Lieberthal (Keys), and Giovanny Blanco (Vocals) – The Holy Broken is currently playing live-shows throughout the city & beyond as they continue to define their sound and begin to write their own stunning new originals.
With strong-musicianship and talent coming from every corner of the band and a natural rhythm & groove that continues to get stronger over their time together; the invitational-sound, style and music of The Holy Broken has a charismatic, gravitational-pull that is able to bring people together for an incredible experience in all-out entertainment. Set to release their debut-material in early 2018 – these five amazing players have found a real home and vibe of their own…one that truly resonates within the people and brings-out the real magic in music through their rockin’ style & relatable sound as The Holy Broken.
