Elephant Lore is a 4-piece, Chicago-based rock band founded in Spring 2021 by childhood friends Eddie Fay (vocalist/rhythm guitar) and Yona Gidalevitz (lead guitar) with Anthony James (drums) and Quinton “Q” Cajigas (bass) completing the lineup.

With each band member playing multiple instruments and contributing to the writing process, they create unique sound that draws influence from blues, classic rock, hard rock, and funk.

They perform with high energy, aiming to make crowds connect and dance. The group has been building a following around Chicago and released their second project, a 5 song EP, in January 2024. They are currently writing and recording their next work.
