Artist description Elixir is a five-piece indie/alternative rock band out of Nashville, TN combining the driving rock of Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer and Incubus with the funk rock of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Having developed a devoted local following from nearly two years of performing their exciting and energetic live shows, elixir is fronted by Belmont University music student David Lofton, an experienced singer who has done studio work since the age of ten and has won several accolades and awards for his singing, including "Male Vocalist of the Year" for two consecutive years at Franklin Road Academy. Adding a unique influence to Elixir's sound is keyboardist Patrick Hart, a student at Vanderbilt Unversity's prestigious Blair School of Music who has won a number of contests for his piano proficiency and songwriting talent alike. His piano and keyboard experience in styles of music from rock to classical to jazz brings a sound to elixir not commonly heard in rock music. Guitarist Alex Bissell, another Blair student, has been playing guitar since elementary school and has received tutelage from Reggie Wooten, part of the world-famous Wooten Brothers band. A guitar aficionado who takes influence from such masters of the guitar as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and the great Jimi Hendrix, Alex also won the Geography Bee in 7th grade. Bassist Joseph Schneider, a Blair student who has also taken lessons with Reggie Wooten, is a born performer who has played in bands since 6th grade and has played various instruments since the age of 8. His Flea-influenced, funky bass lines add a fun element to the rock of elixir. Joseph Ennis, a drum prodigy who has placed in several major drumming competitions, brings to the mix his unique rhythms and insane fills that add to the complexity of elixir’s sound. His musical experience and genuine love for the drums makes elixir’s music doubly interesting and exciting. At its heart, elixir is just five guys who enjoy making music. Their distinctive styles and individual talents add up to a unique and truly enjoyable take on modern rock. You are invited to have a listen, and discover what elixir is all about.
