BIOGRAPHY

LixBox music is the product of four average Texans who deliver an exciting and fresh new sound. Originating in Austin, LixBox has created a distinctive style from a combination of rock and blues. Their music  has garnered significant attention from the Austin Music scene and like a Southern train is picking up speed.

Lead Singer/Guitarist, Brad Falch, has been singing his whole life. Growing up in Austin, he picked up a guitar at 19 and, soon after, began performing as the lead singer in various bands with Mike Kling (drummer). Brad is dedicated to providing impassioned vocals and creating the highest quality songs. His powerful voice, extended vocal range, and audience persona make him well suited as the band’s lead singer and front man. We have only begun to hear this guy's potential.

 

Singer/ Lead Guitarist, Larry Schmidt, born in El Paso, Texas. He had his first guitar at age 12 and was performing in groups by age 15. Larry has entertained people through out the southwest. Larry hooked with Mike (drummer) in the summer of 2006 at a neighborhood block party. They discovered they both loved the same style of music. That bluesy rock and roll that when you close your eyes you can feel it all the way down to your soul, type of music. Incredible lead technique, and classic rock tones are a perfect fit for the homegrown sound of LixBox. There are times during the show that LixBox will turn Larry loose and people are always amazed at the way he handles his guitar. Like no other. Hearing is believing but seeing is better, don't miss a chance to see this guy perform.

 

Singer/Bassist, Clyde Browning, hails from Dallas, Texas. He formerly played the Austin music scene for 10 years, including well known bands like Shiftless and Blue Cartoon and others. Clyde did a recent four year gig overseas in Europe, playing the local scene in southern France. Yes he speaks French now, but failed to learn how to play the accordion. He has returns to his Austin musical roots and has joined LixBox to express his artistic rhythms and passion to play and entertain. He also is a really good guitarist and plays lead on some songs. Very talented. 

Singer/Drummer, Mike Kling, grew up in Beaumont, TX which gave Mike a taste of New Orleans style funk and Zydeco. He tells us that he loves a good solid pull-em-out on the dance floor, funky, rhythmic beat with swirling accents of cymbals and toms that create that a swirling, pulsing, feel that just sucks you onto the dance floor like a strong Texas Gulf undertow. His drumming techniques support and drive the song of LixBox. LixBox greatest asset is his genius sense of touch on the percussions. He is our foundation and the founder and the spark that holds us together.

Talented musicianship, professional equipment, and a passion to entertain make LixBox the perfect live music entertainment choice for your private party or any event in any venue, large or small.
