Band Bio
Eleven Hundred Springs plays real country music. With songwriting hooks Hank Williams himself would be proud of and a band as tight as Buck Owens’ Buckaroos to back them up, it’s no wonder the dance floors stay packed at their shows. It could be said that the band’s influences such as Hank Thompson blended Western Swing with Honky Tonk, and Waylon Jennings blended country with Rock. Eleven Hundred Springs does all of the above, in a way that is current and relevant in today’s music sceen.
Without a doubt, live performance is this band’s specialty. Since the band’s inception, it has maintained a tour schedule of 150 plus dates a year all over the USA and Europe.
The band was founded by Steve Berg (bass) and Matt Hillyer (Lead Guitar/Vocals). Playing the Fiddle, is the incomparable Jordan W. Hendrix. Burton Lee makes the pedal steel guitar cry in true country fashion and Arjuna Contrareas, rounds out the line up on the drums. In the tradition of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys all of these accomplished musicians’ talents are featured.
Whether listening to their recordings or watching on of their many live performances, Eleven Hundred Springs does not disappoint. With a fan base from coast to coast whose age ranges from eight to eighty, it’s easy to see why these boys have made a name for themselves as some of the best in the business.
