Ax and the Hatchetmen

Ax and the Hatchetmen came here to party. The Chicago-based rock and roll band’s shimmering guitar attack, earthy rhythms, and blistering horns have gained them a loyal following nationwide. Formed in 2018, the camaraderie and musicality between the longtime group of friends is apparent the moment they take the stage. Led by the vocals and guitars of Axel Ellis, the six-piece band also showcases Sal Defilippis on guitar, Hunter Olshefke on bass, Nick Deputy on drums, Phil Pistone on trumpet, and Quinn Dolan on saxophone. 2022 saw the band complete two headlining tours as well as release four new singles that have amassed millions of streams globally. They plan on touring and releasing music for the foreseeable future. They also will party.
