Captain Crash

A Tribute to Bon Jovi

Nate

Nate Beuschlein is Tico Torres in Captain Crash, providing the hard-hitting, driving backbeat behind the music of Bon Jovi. With a powerful and versatile style behind the kit, Nate brings the energy, groove, and intensity that are at the heart of every Captain Crash performance.

Inspired by drummers including Travis Barker, Chad Smith, Taylor Hawkins, Matt Greiner, John Bonham, and Tico Torres himself, Nate developed a style that combines power, feel, and versatility across a wide range of music.

That versatility has led Nate to perform with local bands including Shortbus Fight Kid, Sleepless Bandits, Gentlemen, and Y2Kids. He has also performed with LCBC Church, where his path eventually crossed with Captain Crash members Shawn and Jason.

Joining Captain Crash gives Nate the opportunity to pay homage to one of the drummers who influenced him while performing music he grew up listening to. Behind the kit, he brings his own personality and energy while staying true to the driving rhythm and unmistakable feel that Tico Torres brought to Bon Jovi.

Now as Tico in Captain Crash, Nate provides the powerful foundation behind the band, bringing a new level of energy to the stage while helping recreate the sound and excitement of Bon Jovi live.

I grew up with Bon Jovi’s music and Tico has always been one of the drummers who influenced me. I’m excited to bring my own energy and style to Captain Crash while paying respect to what made these songs so great in the first place. I can’t wait to get behind the kit and bring that energy to the audience every night.
