Chris Haise Band + Elephonic

Chris Haise Band:

Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the indie/folk/rock band’s music has been described as “intense, thoughtful songcraft”* with “lyrics so vivid you can practically touch them, (Chris Haise) is among the finer storytellers”**.

Adding members Mark Harrig (guitar/vox), Tony Sturino (cello/vox), & Chad Burgess (drums), CHB became multiple award nominees on the steps of their first full band album “Suburban View” released in 2019.

In 2020, the singer song-writer released a solo record during the pandemic lockdown called “The Quarantine Tapes” while at the same time recording the 2021 studio release “Half Of All Of Nothing” as Haise’s exploration of navigating through the uncertainty of the modern world.

Chris Haise Band announced the release of their 4th studio album “Future, Future, Who Am I?”, while also adding new bassist Chris Dickerson. “Future, Future, Who Am I?” highlights the band’s contagious hook-filled melodies while keeping true to Haise’s Dylan-esque vocals. With pop undertones and a more indie rock feel than their previous releases, it spotlights their musicianship, vocal harmonies, and cello-laced compositions that will get stuck in your head for days.

Elephonic:

Mike Jarvis was the lead singer and songwriter of two of Milwaukee’s critically acclaimed and much beloved bands: The Blow Pops and The Lackloves. After a little down time and wood shedding, Jarvis is back with arguably his best effort to date. This new, fully realized and energized sonic vision of sprawling chamber folk-pop is called Elephonic and features some of the best musicians Milwaukee has to offer. Elephonic is simultaneously familiar sounding yet wholly original and new. Exhuberent and undeniably melodic, their joyous songs will be stuck in your cranium ad infinitum.  With cascading waterfalls of cello and shimmering violin, sweeping keyboards, clinic-worthy guitars, impenetrable bass and brick wall backbeat, all topped off with exquisite vocal harmonies, Elephonic ups the ante on all things euphonious, catchy, and PURE POP.
