Eleven Hundred Springs

Eleven Hundred Springs was founded by Matt Hillyer (lead vocalist, guitar, primary songwriter), Steven Berg (bass), in 1998. Prior to forming Eleven Hundred Springs, Matt and Steven had played together in three previous bands, most notably the Dallas rockabilly band Lone Star Trio, and the rock band, Strap. The band's early days included a lengthy Monday night residency at Adair's in Deep Ellum. It was during this time that the band's first album, Welcome to Eleven Hundred Springs, was recorded, as well as Live at Adair's.

Over the years, the band has had several lineup changes, with key band member Jordan Hendrix joining the group in 2006.

The most recent, and what proved to be the band's final lineup was put together in October 2016.

On June 9, 2021, lead singer/songwriter Matt Hillyer announced via his Facebook page that, “with bittersweet feelings that we've decided to bring the band to an end.” They played a series of farewell shows through the end of 2021. On Friday November 26, 2021, the band played their final show at the Granada Theater in Dallas, Texas.

One of the farewell shows took place on August 14, 2021, at The Double Wide In Dallas. The recording of that show, Eleven Hundred Springs Recorded Live At The Double Wide In Dallas Texas, is scheduled for release on September 17, 2024.
