Eljam

Eljam’s music is driven by powerful lyrics and equally robust guitar riffs. Victor McGhee wrote most of the lyrics and the general melodies for the tunes, with each band member usually writing his own part. Mike Wich played guitar, Billy Armstrong played bass and Paul Vourderis played drums. Victor also played rhythm guitar and was the lead singer, while Mike occasionally provided back-up vocals. Thanks to 2006 technology, Victor appears on this compilation from 2499 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona. His parts were recorded in Black Canyon City Studio. Due to circumstances beyond our control, an understudy (Mike) played all of the instruments. With respects to Billy’s massive bass lines, Paul’s innovative drum style and Victor’s Ovation-based acoustic rhythm guitar playing, Mike has tried to be as true as possible to the original performances of the original members of the band.

We never officially played anywhere live it was more of a recording project, now we're spread across the country.

Beatles, The Who, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Elton John, Al DiMeola, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and of course Led Zeppelin.
