The Band

End Eleven's lead vocalist is someone the Pasadena, Maryland area already knows — a well-known local singer with a vocal power and range that has to be heard to be believed. He can sound like virtually anyone. The grit of Plant, the fury of Dio, the swagger of Axl, the operatic thunder of Freddie Mercury — this vocalist doesn't just cover these legends, he does them justice in a way that will stop you cold.

His name won't be revealed until End Eleven takes the stage for the first time in 2027. That's not a gimmick — it's a statement. When the lights go up and he opens his mouth, you'll understand immediately why we saved the reveal for the moment it hits hardest. Some things are worth waiting for. This is one of them.

Jimmy Tant is the lead guitarist and founding member of End Eleven — and if you’ve heard his name before but haven’t seen him play in years, that’s all about to change. A Pasadena, Maryland native, Jimmy has built his reputation by playing in high-quality bands throughout his career, including Hammer, The End, Them Damn Dogs, and Hard Knox, just to name a few. What sets him apart is something genuinely rare: an uncanny ability to channel the sound, style, and spirit of virtually every iconic rock guitar hero who has influenced him. They are his heroes, and he has mastered Eddie Van Halen’s two-handed wizardry, Randy Rhoads’ classical precision, Jimmy Page’s dark mysticism, Slash’s blues-soaked swagger, and Angus Young’s relentless fury. Jimmy doesn’t simply play these styles; he inhabits them.

In the years since then, Jimmy has kept a relatively low profile. You could say life got in the way, but it never dimmed his passion for playing the guitar quietly in his home studio. Now, in 2027, he’s ready to step back into the spotlight with what he considers his 11th and final band — End Eleven. At this point in his life, Jimmy just wants to get out there a few more times, have some fun, and celebrate and share with you the music he’s loved his entire life. With decades of playing behind him and a deep appreciation for the iconic guitar sounds that inspired him, Jimmy brings everything he’s learned to the stage — from blistering solos and soaring bends to the unmistakable feel of hard rock and heavy metal that’s rarely played or performed in the local scene anymore. End Eleven is an opportunity to enjoy the ride, play the music he loves, and share his passion with you. This is Jimmy’s final chapter as a working guitarist — and he intends to make it a memorable one.

Pete Patraska is one of the most versatile and in-demand bassists in the Pasadena, Maryland area — a rock-solid pocket player with the rare ability to lock in across multiple genres and make every band he plays in sound better. You may already know Pete from MIGGS, the well-known country act he performs with — but make no mistake, his heart has always belonged to hard rock and roll.

That cross-genre experience is exactly what makes Pete such a force in End Eleven. He brings a musicianship and groove that goes beyond just playing the right notes — he feels the song, anchors the rhythm section, and gives Jimmy Tant's guitar work a foundation that hits like a freight train. When Pete is in the pocket, the whole band locks in. This is where his passion lives, and it shows every time he plugs in.

End Eleven's drummer is one of the most accomplished players to come out of the Pasadena, Maryland area — a musician who has spent his career playing in high-quality bands that required precision, power, and the ability to deliver night after night. He's not learning on the job. He arrived at End Eleven already forged by years of performing at a level most drummers never reach.

That pedigree shows every time he sits behind the kit. He plays with the confidence of someone who has been in serious bands, on serious stages, with serious musicians — and he brings every bit of that experience to End Eleven. He holds nothing back. He never has. And in a band full of veterans who feel exactly the same way, the result is something that hits completely different from anything else on the local scene.

End Eleven's fifth member is a multi-instrumentalist who brings a dimension to the band that most rock acts simply don't have. Equally at home behind a keyboard or with a guitar in hand, he fills in the sonic layers that take these songs from great to absolutely massive — the Hammond organ swells, the piano lines, the rhythm guitar textures that make the difference between a cover band and a full production.

A veteran of high-quality bands in the Pasadena, Maryland area, he's the kind of player who makes everyone around him sound better. His name will be revealed when End Eleven hits the stage in 2027 — but when you hear what he adds to this band, you'll understand immediately why we kept him in our back pocket.
