Formed in 1998, the Dallas based quintet has grown a massive fan base across Texas, California and the southern U.S. through constant touring, relentless grassroots promotion and playing country jams that are second to none in the vastly over-populated Texas music scene.
Matt Hillyer and Steve Berg have been best friends, songwriting collaborators and musical sidekicks since their teenage years fronting the legendary Dallas based rockabilly group Lone Star Trio. Eleven Hundred Springs' stellar lineup also includes Aaron Wynne, platinum selling rock star incognito Mark Reznicek (formerly of The Toadies ), and the newest member of the group, 2nd generation fiddler Jordan Hendrix, whose father Phillip W. Hendrix played alongside the likes of Webb Pierce, Farron Young and Wynne Stewart in honkytonks across the world.
Critically acclaimed by fans, media and industry-ites alike, the members of Eleven Hundred Springs are collectively making the best music of their careers, which is a bold statement considering the national success of Lone Star Trio and the Toadies. The Dallas Observer and The Fort Worth Weekly have both praised the band with many accolades, resulting in numerous "Best of" nominations and fan-voted wins in "Best Country / Roots Band" categories - quite an accomplishment in the musically populated Dallas/Fort Worth area.
In 2004, the band signed with Tennessee based label Palo Duro Records, and their 14 song disc, Bandwagon, their third studio effort, enjoyed tremendous radio success, reaching #1 on XM Radio's X-Country Album chart and even charting on the nationwide Americana chart, including a coveted spot in the Americana Music Association's Top 100 albums of 2004 list.
Having played and collaborated with legends like Ronnie Dawson, Bo Diddley and Reverend Horton Heat, as well as shared bills with national fan favorites like the Old 97s, Jack Ingram and Hank Williams III, Eleven Hundred Springs could quite possibly be the next big thing to come out of Dallas' highly acclaimed alt-country scene.
