-Davey Kirk Davenport….you can call me Davey

-I was born January 1st 1990. This means I am currently 20

-I started actually playing bass and guitar when I was 13. I kind of grew up with 11ty7, and when they started getting serious I started picking up Caleb’s bass when he wasn’t looking. This led to me being in a few bands, and co-founding a band called Days off Screen with Caleb’s little brother (my best friend) Matt. Days off Screen toured throughout High School, putting out 2 albums and a few eps. I cut my teeth in songwriting on those albums and the entire project remains quite close to my heart. Last year, Langston had the monumental thumb disaster, crushing it in the van door while on the road. My schedule happened to line up pretty well with the rest of that tour, so I agreed to come out and play guitar on the remaining shows. It was a ton of fun to be on the road with the guys, and to rekindle the old friendships. The following Fall, after Matt’s thumb had healed, I decided to start school full-time and to cut back on any extensive touring. Doing this for a while I realized that it was a mistake. Luckily God’s providence proved astounding once again. Caleb had been called to a different form of ministry, and in my conversations with him I heard a passionate human being who genuinely needed to follow the calling. Hesitant at first, I agreed to take some time off and go back out on the road with the guys. A few conversations transpired and the rest is history. So……here we are.

Lots of exciting things are going on in the world of Eleventyseven. This year we have played more countries than ever before. We made the top ten bands in the MEAD FiveStar Music Insider (http://www.fivestarmusicinsider.com/#) Recently we established a new studio which allows us to rehearse as a band working on NEW songs and ultimately doing what this band was created to do: bring you the best possible music out there and with each album and with each show played to be better than the one before.

In the life of a band it is inevitable that changes occur. With this announcement after the Sweden trip, July 15th will be founding member and bassist Caleb Satterfield last show. Many of you know that this past May Caleb got married and with much prayer Caleb felt with this season it is best for him to focus on his marriage and not be on the road. “I learned much about God, life, joy, failure, fear, and love firsthand while out on the road.  I even met my wife.  And now, as my time with Eleventyseven is coming to an end, I am nothing but grateful for the opportunities I have had to serve the Lord in Eleventyseven.”  Caleb Satterfield

Our thoughts, prayers and support go out to Caleb for this next season in his life.

As it is time for you to say goodbye, we are ready to introduce you to the newest edition to Elevenseven. Davey. You might remember Davey when he filled in for Matt last year on guitar after the thumb crushing accident. You can follow Davey on twitter @eleventydavey and look for more videos, blogs and information about Davey coming soon!

As always thanks for all your support we are very excited to bring you new music and also getting on the road this fall. Keep checking the tour dates and don’t forget to vote for www.fivestarmusicinsider.com

Hey ya’ll.  Just wanted to give you an update.  If you haven’t noticed, we have taken a little more time off than usual this summer. Well, that’s because we basically have been spending every minute possible on the side of a mountain.  No, we’re not lumberjacks or mountain climbers.  We just so happen to have our studio on the side of a mountain, and we have pretty much spent our summer camped out in there.  Can you guys guess why? YUP! That’s right.  We’ve been working on new music for ya.

We are so very much excited about our new songs and can’t wait for you guys to hear them.  When we put out another record, we want it to be the best thing we’ve ever done.  Sooooo we’re being very picky with our writing.  Here’s an example, we’ve basically written and recorded well over 30 songs so far, and of those 30, we have about 7 that we want on the record… and we keep writing new songs every day.  We can’t wait to share some news tunes with ya’ll. We plan on being out on tour this fall so keep a look out for us in a town near you!

Much love and God bless

Hey guys. just wanted to say how amazing it was to play Ichthus again this year. You guys always make that festival so fun. Plus I’m pretty sure KY has some of the sweetest dance moves ever… and they don’t mind dancing even if it is a million degrees outside. It was wonderful to catch up with so many familiar faces. Also, did any of you guys go watch Switchfoot play? Well I did, and it was absolutely amazing! I also want to send a shout out to the friends that were playing hackey sack with me and Davey! You guys keep practicing and maybe next time we can get a full hack!
