Ancient Device is an ever evolving vision where art meets groove. When asked to characterize the type of music Ancient Device falls under, it is difficult to find any one particular genre that would correctly define the group: Metal, classical, world, and jazz are but a few that spring to mind. The band incorporates such instruments as the cello, violin, and even a didgeridoo to obtain their eclectic and unique sound. This very inimitable sound has been quoted as "so catchy and moving it gives listeners goose bumps."
Ancient Device was founded in 2006 by brothers Riley Ellis (bass) and Kelly Ellis (cello). It was a common dream among the two of them to have a band that reflected the elements and approach of every musical style possible. In 2007 the dynamic duo coalesced with singer and long-time friend Sean Johnson, resulting in the obtainment of an even broader spectrum of sound. In 2008, after the departure of former drummer Kelvin Pratt, the band eagerly welcomed another long-time friend--Cory Lewis. With all of the proper ingredients in place, Ancient Device has made the perfect recipe for pushing musical limits.
At the present, Ancient Device continues to drive visions as far as the mind can explore. Attaining radio play and support from friends like Victor Wooten, you will find them playing shows all around Arkansas and surrounding states. Ancient Device is also currently in the recording studio working on their new album Don't Take A Fence.
