In 2003, longtime friends Chris Mills and Cris Womack shared an apartment in Lewisville, TX. Like so many other musicians, the two starting playing and writing songs for fun. Their creativity turned into serious business as they began playing venues in the Denton area. Trying to think of a band name, Mills and Womack ended up choosing Eleven Dollars, "since that's all we thought we would make."
Of course, they underestimated themselves and, in 2005, they picked up the skills of lead guitarist, Brandon Deem, and bass player, Doug Benscoter. The four-piece band played venues and festivals for another two years before bringing in the final piece to the puzzle: musician, Steve Hughes. With the newly crafted band finally in place, Eleven Dollars has recorded a popular EP, "Missing Pieces," and more recently their first LP, "Studio B."
In addition to their albums, the music of Eleven Dollars has been featured in the independent films, Be My Teacher ("Laurensong") and Border Break ("Cocaine and Cigarettes"). The band has been nominated for two 2012 Hollywood Music in Media Awards (Best Adult Contemporary Song for "Lighter Shade of Gray" and Best Rock Song for "I'm Not Depressed"). They have also been nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Artist at the 2013 Artists in Music Awards.
Eleven Dollars is currently back in the studio, recording another EP, "Songs from Yesterday," which will contain five or six brand new songs. Stay tuned!Your musical influences
