About Me

On occasion, a Rock and Roll band emerges out of apparently nowhere with the unique ability to transcend listeners to a fresh, albeit familiar plane. Such is the case with Elizabeth Poe.Founding members, David Call and Brent Bokovoy grew up together making music in San Diego County. They shared a similar love for the darker side of classic rock, from the Doors and the Velvet Underground, to later alternative bands such as Joy Division and the Jesus and the Mary Chain. These interests shaped the development of their original songs.Eventually, however, David took several years off from performing in pursuit of education. He holds a PhD in Ancient Near Eastern studies and reads ancient Babylonian, as well as several other archaic languages. Brent continued to make music, but also took up screen writing in the process. After relocating to Boston, David and Brent began playing their songs with Tennessee guitarist Chase Webber and Berklee trained Keyboardist/Moogist Tim Tsang.With the addition of experienced drummer Skip Fisher (a New England musician who has played with everyone from Bo Diddley to Chuck Berry), Elizabeth Poe is now prepared to release the first of several albums of original material, including songs that true to their influence, sound instantly familiar to Rock and Roll fans of various genres, yet still retain the ability to carry their audience to a wholly new artistic dimension.Thanks for listening.Span style="text-align:center;position:absolute; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:32px; width:100%;left:0px;top:200px; background-image:urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8IVWR4I5 UA
