THE BAND
We are the The Elements, a teenage Indie Rock Band in North County San Diego, California. Our songs span the range from slow, featuring simple instrumentation, to dynamic, a combination of heart pumping guitar sections with thundering percussion. Strong vocals are highlighted through meaningful and catchy lyrics. We also play covers of songs from bands like the Beatles, Cage the Elephant, Talking Heads, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fitz and the Tantrums.
We have performed in San Diego at the Music Box, House of Blues, San Diego Fair, Petco Park, Fiesta Del Sol, Summer Fun on the 101, and SDCCU Stadium to name a few. In the summer of 2017, we were honored to perform at 5-time Olympian Tony Azevedo's inaugural Aquatic Games in Long Beach. This marked our debut out of San Diego County, and we have performed there each summer since.
We perform at community events for the City of Encinitas, Encinitas Friends of the Arts, Encinitas Highway 101 Main Street Association, and the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association.
We hope you can make it to one of our next performances!

My greatest influence for playing has been Elton John; Ray Manzarek, The Doors; and Richard Wright, Pink Floyd.
