Brother Believe Me

“Great vocals”, “awesome song selections”, “memorable crowd interaction”, and most importantly, “FUN”! Those are just a few of the phrases heard from thousands of fans that flock to see Brother Believe Me, or “B-B-M”, as it’s often chanted at shows.


Offering a diverse song list from newer artists like Bruno Mars, Imagine Dragons, and Maroon 5, all the way to Poison, Michael Jackson, Shinedown and too many others to list, BBM satisfies nearly any musical taste. From thousands at a family-friendly festival to packed uptown dance clubs and even weddings and private parties, BBM has earned a reputation as a mainstay of regional high-quality entertainment.


The members of BBM hail from across Ohio including Lima and Cleveland. Lead singer Jon Drake is a renowned rock vocalist and multi-instrumentalist from Cleveland. Founding members Jason Wheeler on guitar and Brian Carpenter on drums have been with the band since its inception. Chris Brokamp plays bass and provides backing vocals. All members have played in many successful area bands such as Splendid Chaos, LessR, Gatlin, and Nemesis. They now bring those years of experience into one of the most exciting and entertaining acts in the Midwest!


Active since 2007, the band has earned numerous spots with national acts like Sevendust, Hellyeah, and Clutch. Even opening slots for Travis Tritt, and headlining spots for tens of thousands of fans at dozens of large festivals and clubs across Ohio, Put-In-Bay, Indiana, Kentucky, and many others.


With a revamped stage and light show as well as all new songs for this year, you do not want to miss out on your chance to party-rock, BBM-style!
