Be Brave Bold Robot
Be Brave Bold Robot · Tune In
Be Brave Bold Robot is a Sacramento-based indie folk-pop project led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Dean Haakenson, who has anchored the band for more than 20 years. The lineup is famously fluid — Haakenson has cycled through roughly two dozen players he calls "Forever Members," typically adding bass, strings, and percussion behind his acoustic guitar and lyric-driven vocals. The catalog spans early indie folk-rock through more recent acoustic hip-hop and "nerd rap" experiments, including a self-titled 2007 release featuring Death Grips' Andy Morin on drums. Albums run from Take A Deep Breath (2010) and Under a Thin Veil of Madness (2012) through Life is Other People (2021) and WORTH IT (2025). The band is a longtime fixture of Sacramento-area stages and DIY bills.
