History

Eleven Hundred Springs was founded by Matt Hillyer (lead vocalist, guitar, primary songwriter), Steven Berg (bass), and Richie Vasquez (drums) 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. 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.” [1] 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. Shortly after, Eleven Hundred Springs was scheduled to perform one additional show, at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth. Due to illness in the band, the full band show that was scheduled did not happen. [2] [3]

On Saturday Feb 1, 2025, Eleven Hundred Springs reunited for one night only, to perform at a benefit show at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas Texas, along with the pop punk band Bowling For Soup. The theme of the show was "Punks & Pokes", inspired by the 1978 Longhorn Ballroom marquee listing that featured the English punk band the Sex Pistols and country music icon Merle Haggard.
