What does it mean to be in Blackpowder?
By the time we finish our tour on August 10th we will have played 28 shows, in 15 cities, in 6 states. We will have released a single and an EP. And that’s just the first 8 months of 2024.
As we finish 2024 we will be recording 2 new singles and doing one show run per month. 2025 will bring a new EP and a 4-6 week summer tour.
We have a practice space and rehearse 2-3 times per week. We have a van for out of town shows. And most of all we love to get out in Columbus and support the great bands in the scene.
If this sounds like a movement you’d like to be part of we’d love to have you audition to be our bass player. But know this, we work hard and will expect you to as well. Hit us up on messenger to set up an audition.

Hey there, my birth name is Nathan Rideau but on stage with Blackpowder I go by Nathan Jackson. I found my passion for drumming in a slightly unconventional way. Unlike many musicians, I didn't discover drums through school or a marching band. Instead, I was drawn to the instrument by the incredible emotion’s it can evoke in others. I feel most alive when I am behind a drum set. My biggest musical influences are Gojira, Sepultura and Death. I aim to bring people together with Blackpowder’s music by making a positive impact on bringing awareness towards environmental issues our planet faces.
