12Eleven is a collaborative project that was formed in the Southeast United States in the spring of 2019. Originally music students, Dan Alvarado (Guitar), Eric McCauley (Lead vocals/Sax), Denver Wallace (Bass), & Pierce Gilmore (Drums), began performing together at local venues in their college town of Troy, Alabama.
That summer, 12Eleven was introduced to the southern panhandle as it began to expand out of central Alabama. The soulful R&B and Alternative Pop was a refreshing take for an area used to a different style. After gaining experience playing a high-volume schedule in the panhandle, 12Eleven released its debut EP in September 2023 & began touring the southeast.
Known for the unique sound of Sax and guitar, combined with soulful vocals & heavy groove. 12Eleven has managed to craft a sound that stands out as its very own. Catchy melodies, quality musicianship & a hint of mystique create a lasting aesthetic that is 12Eleven.
