COUNTRY BAND ELEVEN HUNDRED SPRINGS
TOURING TEXAS
Band Turns Traditional Country Sound into New Texas Country
Sound
(AUSTIN, Texas) ÷ Texas country band Eleven Hundred Springs,
whose members have taken the traditional sound and
masterfully made it their own, is back on the road, with
shows scheduled around the Lone Star State.
Eleven Hundred Springs will play plenty of originals from
its albums, including last summer's Bandwagon (Palo Duro,
July 2004), which San Antonio Express-News music columnist
John Goodspeed called "a retro yet fresh collection of tunes
with influences ranging from Buck Owens and Doug Sahm to
Hank Williams and The Byrds. You can get an idea of their
alternative country approach with some song titles: "The
Only Thing She Left Me Was the Blues," "Long Haired Tattooed
Hippie Freaks" and "Hank Williams Wouldn't Make It Now in
Nashville, Tennessee."
The first single from Bandwagon, "Why You Been Gone So
Long?" ö written by music legend Mickey Newberry and
featuring a sample of the late Ronnie Dawsonâs original
recording of the tune ö spent the summer of 2004 getting
national and regional airplay on Texas and satellite radio,
and slots on country and Americana charts. And the second
single, "Hank Williams," charted for months this year on The
Texas Music Chart.
Tight vocals, astute songwriting and a Texas sense of humor
all are audible throughout the tracks of Bandwagon,
including two other emphasis tracks, the Doug Sahm-inspired
"North Side Blues" and the heavenly redemption-themed "A
Straighter Line."
"Our main goal has always been to play traditional country
music the right way," says band co-founder Matt Hillyer,
lead vocalist and electric guitarist. "We want to focus on
writing good songs with good melodies with lyrics that are
simple and true that strike a chord with people. But we also
want songs people can sing along and dance to."
Eleven Hundred Springs is Hillyer and band co-founder and
bassist Steven Berg, driving pedal steel and keyboard player
Aaron Wynne, fiddler Jordan Hendrix and nimble
drummer/percussionist Mark Reznicek. Berg and Wynne also
provide vocals.
