Jericho AD

Meet Jericho AD

Steve Elliott founder and president of Jericho AD has been a guitarist and vocalist for over 35 years. Living in Central Florida since 1987. He has a history of business ownership as president of Aero Conversions, Inc. which was an aircraft repair shop located at Orlando Executive Airport; and as an independent stockbroker for a variety of local firms for the last 10 years.

Returning to the Lord in the last 7 years, he has been called to start the ministry of Jericho AD. A calling to create a Christian band not affiliated with any Church in particular has been a unique experience for Steve.

It will require the business experience he has accumulated as well as all his musical ability. His greatest desire is to serve the Lord and bring people to Jesus Christ through music. The unique combination of rock music coupled with praise music is how he hopes to accomplish this. if you would like to schedule Jericho AD to play in your town or church, or perhaps you are a Christian musician called into the ministry click here to contact Steve...

Chris Hogge

is another of JERICHO-AD's best kept secrets... Chris' primary responsibilities are Sound, Bass player and Guitar player. Chris was born in West Palm Beach Florida. He is 32 years old and a graduate of Audio Recording Technology Institute. Chris has been playing the guitar for over 15 years and has a goal of becoming an audio engineer and producer. He was called to JERICHO-AD in May of 2003. He has the unique ability to make the whole band sound good. The Lord has brought us his talent to fill our need to keep our sound consistent no matter where we play. His additional ability to fill in for a missing member is a special bonus for JERICHO-AD. He has a great appreciation for all styles of music, and this will be crucial as JERICHO-AD combines our unique blend of rock and praise music...

DAVID HOLLAND is a recent transplant to the Central Florida Region, and he is using God's gift of music to bring the “BEAT” to the Sunshine State. Playing Drums since his youth education in secondary performing arts schools David feels he has found his path in life, using his gift to bring people the Joy of the Lord through music. In addition to performing with JERICHO AD, David may sometimes be found preforming in NEW DESTINY CHRISTIAN CENTER'S BAND.

David is proud to be a member of NEW DESTINY CHRISTIAN CENTER and a student of the "WORD" under senior pastor Dr. Zachery Tims, where he particularly enjoys performing in their "MIDNIGHT CRY” services.

David's background includes a variety of genres of music, from contemporary/urban gospel to reggae to rock and roll his style excludes a soulful funk filled southern barbeque flavor that denotes his roots in his former home of Memphis TN. An accomplished drum technician and instructor David takes on a limited number of drum students for private lessons. He also conducts several drum clinics per year. This multi talented musican is also a self employed graphic artist and has a background in website design.

A quiet night for David may be spent at home with his wife DEEDEE and new baby daughter Layla. Deedee also helps the band occasionally with her vocal talents. One of David's favorite quotes is "Adversity intorduces a man to himself." David keeps us in time at JERICHO AD and gives our music a central beat to retrun to in our melodic guitar riffs.

CAROL ANTONELLI plays guitar and bass. When she was eleven (11) years old Carol's dad brought her home a gift that would change her life forever. Her dad had been to a pawn shop and picked up a used guitar to bring home to Carol. This would start a lifelong love for music that only grew stronger as she gave her life to Jesus Christ. Three years of music lessons followed, but she is a self taught bass player and drummer. Her well developed style crafted from over forty years of playing is essential to the sound of JERICHO AD.

Carol attends "RIVER CHURCH" in Altamonte Springs where she assists the Praise Team in leading souls to Jesus. We are blessed by her constant smile and her sweet spirit as well as her anointed playing. According to Carol her main desire in life is to win souls to the Kingdom. We are sure that this desire will be met by her participation in JERICHO AD. Born and raised in New York City we are very happy the Lord decided to make her home in Orlando.
