44 Love

About Me

44 Love is a quartet combining influences of blues/folk/rock, individual and complimentary talents, Southern Gothic, witty songwriting, and eclectic covers to provide an experience that goes beyond the music we play.

44 Love uses their Southern sardonic sense of the unexpected to write and perform songs about good times, bad times, and everything in between. Especially the universal theme of love. (Whether that love be for a person, a place, or a .44 pistol)

44 Love is based in the Winston-Salem area of N.Carolina. Band members can, and do, play any damn thing from bluegrass to Black Sabbath.


History of 44 Love:

44 Love was formed in early 2007 by Levi and Bart and Jordan. The three musicians were wanting to form a new roots rockin' band. (Emphasis on the rock) After an exhausting search of almost 4 hours, Levi, Bart, & Jordan convinced Maurio Eley to play drums with 44 Love
Maurio couldn't resist, and agreed to join the band.

In December 2007, much to the chagrin of the band, Maurio left 44 Love, to pursue other projects and interests.

Fortune smiled, when longtime friend and fan of the band, Jason James joined the Bart, Levi, & Jordan in 44 Love as the band's drummer. Jason brings a wealth of knowledge about musical styles and a boost of even more energy.

SO once again 44 Love is complete.
