About Bento Box Band

GENESIS.... Josh and Nestor meet at a party and happen to have guitars on them. Nestor invites Josh to perform at The FALLS ART DISTRICT walk along with his old buddy Dave on Drums. SPONTANEOUS COHESION ensues and they begin performing at Art galleries around town under the name Project: Devil's Advocate. In May 2010 - Josh brings a friend to jam on Bass and BENTO BOX is born. Sept 2011 - Nestor and Dave walk into the Titanic Brewery for an Open Blues Jam and meet Gabe and Jorge. They are invited to jam at another FALLS ART DISTRICT walk and yet again! SPONTANEOUS COHESION takes over and Bento Box is revitalized with as a huge wall of sound! The rest is... well let's just say we are making history. INDIVIDUAL BIOS: JOSHUA HERRINGTON has interest in what he describes as "Textural Loops" that have become a staple in his performances. Combining his live vocals, guitar,sax, flute, and even drums and bass, he uses a Boss loop station to put it all together into what had been described in the Collegiate Times as an "organic, exciting and powerful sound-scape...this boy's got spunk, I'm telling you!". His sound has been compared to a heady mix of Dave Matthews, Dispatch, and The Police. He lent his sounds and songs to several groups in the Blacksburg area, and headlined regularly in surrounding Roanoke, VA and Knoxville TN, opening for the likes of Dubconcious, Copeland, Fighting Gravity, and Matt Nathenson. After graduation, Joshua called Asheville and then Chicago home. He continues to play a wide range of venues, and currently resides in Miami FL. NESTOR MOLINA has been playing guitar for 20 years and performing around South Florida since 1997. As a composer and member of other bands, he has brought an extensive knowledge of guitar styles ranging from Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Classical and Flamenco. He is a professional guitar instructor, has served as a judge for Guitar Center's King of the Blues contest the past 3 years, and given workshop demos at the Kendall store location. DAVE MERRITT has been playing drums for 18 years here in Miami where he excelled in Music programs in high school and then in U.F. and F.I.U. Universities. His journeys took him as far as LA where he drummed for Tia Sprocket - an ex-member of Lusious Jackson and Minister. He now resides back in his hometown of Miami where he plays for Bento Box and sits in with other local bands. GABRIEL TUYA - Miami naitive, Gabriel de Tuya is an up and coming guitarist who has excelled quickly despite only playing for 2 1/2 years. But don't let that lack of experience fool you. "Tuya's" visceral slide playing and blues inspired leads add to Bento Box's eclectic and unique sound. JORGE TERCILLA - Hailing from Puerto Rico, he has had a complete devotion to the Bass for the past 2 years. His influences are mainly rooted in Jazz and Blues styles that combined with the fretless Bass guitar sound, adds a unique spin to the Bento Box sound. Enter the Bento and Roll yourself.... some Bad Sushi
