Fonix is an up and coming rock-fusion quartet based in the Triangle region of North Carolina. The band was formed in the Summer of 2015 after a casual jam session amongst relative strangers brought about a mutual feeling of musical familiarity. It is comprised of former Nautilus members Evan Bost (keyboards) and Jonny Rienerth (drums), along with former Makayan members Dennis Veazey (guitar)and Elie Herzog (bass). The four players have quickly become a tight-knit group, sharing a common goal of creating a unique style that transcends typical genre labels and takes the listener on a dynamic musical journey, utilizing both thoughtful original songwriting and live improvisation.  Their shows are characterized by high-energy peaks, sweet valleys of ethereal bliss, tasteful odd-time changes, and an unrelentless infectious groove that always keeps the crowd moving, and guessing.  This combination of sonic creation allows Fonix to consistently explore new sounds and spaces during each performance.  The band has high hopes for what the future holds, and is eager to please the people with their sweet, sweet melodies… so tune in and get hooked now y’all!
