Elvin Killerbee
Born in Baytown, TX, but moved to Baton Rouge at an early age. Elvin was surrounded by the southern musical culture that helped shape and create his musical style today.
After playing drums at an early age, Elvin decided to move on to his true destiny – playing the guitar.
By the time he was 18 Elvin was performing locally in area bands working the club scene and traveling.
After a few years Elvin moved to Los Angeles to forward his career, but unsatisfied he returned home to re-embrace Baton Rouge’s own unique blues heritage. Shortly thereafter the Elvin Killerbee band was born.
Now playing and gathering attention, Elvin also performed as a sideman for Zydeco legend Lynn August. Traveling across America and overseas to Europe and even an extended tour into Africa. A tour which was sponsored by the U.S. State Department.
Back at home, other notable Louisiana blues names had started to notice Elvin’s band and it wasn’t long before Elvin was performing with or opening shows for people like Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Kenny Neal and Marcia Ball.
He more recently performed as a guitarist for Louisiana blues legend Lazy Lester, and opened a post Katrina New Orleans show for on of Louisiana’s best slide guitar exports, Sonny Landreth.
