The Fillers

About Me

We are a group of friends banded together through music and are passionate about what we do. Jeff Meyer and Joey Kuntz started The Fillers as an acoustic group where that sound still is rooted in the current fusion of blues/roots rock/jam-groove happening presently. It all goes down with a mix of acoustic guitars, bluesy harmonica playing, great vocal harmonies, a mind shredding electric guitarist, a funky 8 string beatboxing guitarist and drummer holding down the rhythm section. Recently we have been trying out other forms of percussion to go along with the beatboxing. Corey Meuchel on drums has been a great addition to our evolving sound.The Fillers play frequently around the Fargo/Moorhead area at local bars, events, partys and festivals. We have been blessed with an uncanny ability to keep an audience entertained and get people up and dancing. We have had the honor of sharing the stages with several talented groups such as Down lo, The Johnson Family Band, Heatbox, Fat Maw Rooney, Enchanted Ape, and many more. We have been featured in the Northern Edge Music Magazine and the High Plains Reader. We would like to thank our fans who have supported us from the beginning and continue to do so. See you at the next show! Interesting in booking us? Simply send us a message. Peace n Love!
