::The Boxx Elders:: Bios

Chris “Lightning” | Rhythm Guitar/Vocals
Lightning has been a staple in the rock scene for 25+ years. His dazzling chord progressions as well as his signature “crunch” sound is as readily recognizable as is his wide array of Washburn guitars. In addition to his guitar collection, Lightning’s pedal board has enough lights to land a 747 at O’ Hare. His preferred axe is the Washburn A-20 (endorsement deals are always welcome).

Erik | Drums/Percussion
Erik provides the thunderous backbone that gives the Elders their high energy. Erik not only provides the Boxx Elders with a pounding presence but also their sensitive side. The raw emotion that can be heard in each and every Boxx Elders song comes from Erik’s soft side. He can often be found on Sundays handing out communion at the local Catholic Church or volunteering at the soup kitchen.

Jamie "Fat Head/Howard" | Bass/Vocals
Jamie is the Boxx Elders’ lead singer, frontman, bass player and booking guru. Jamie is the driving force behind the band always pushing to reach our goals…even though we haven’t set any goals to this point. Jamie has been in the rock scene for the last 25+ years, from the early days of the Aces High to current. Jamie is also known for yelling “more distortion” and “I can’t hear the guitars”.

Ben | Lead Guitar
