Eleven Hundred Springs is an anomaly - a hard-working band of country rockers that could easily be the modern poster boys for slacker country. The "long-haired, tattooed hippie freaks" tap into folks like Willie Nelson, Buck Owens and Doug Sahm for their influences, and their hard-core country fans pack dancehalls throughout Texas to drink in their fill of outlaw country music (and more than a few Lone Star longnecks).

Formed from the remnants of Dallas rockabilly band Lone Star Trio in 1998, EHS is made up of founding members Matt Hillyer (lead vocalist, guitar, primary songwriter) and Steve Berg (upright bass, harmony vocals), along with Aaron Wynne (pedal steel), Chris Claridy (lead guitar, harmony vocals) and former Toadies drummer Mark Reznicek. Their sound is Texas music, deeply rooted in traditional 'old school' country.
