The Bloodline is a Boston-based power trio of bass, drums, and guitar. They play rock with a heavy influence from groove-oriented music like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Band of Gypsys. Shawn Crowder has held down the drums for 11 years, since he started out in Colorado. He has made it a musical goal to draw influence from all styles and always keep an open ear. Mike Ball has taken care of the low end for 7 years. His powerful attack and stage presence set him apart from anyone you'll ever see. Elliott Klein, the Bloodline's leader, is the baby of the group, having played for only 5 years. He grew up in California; the music he writes and his guitar playing are the sum of influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Johnny Cash to Trent Reznor. Together they create the unique tone of the Bloodline.
