First to Eleven built a following of more than two million YouTube subscribers by doing something that looks simple until you see it done right: taking songs everyone already knows and making them hit harder than the original. The Erie, PA cover band brings that live show to central New York on Saturday, November 21, stopping at The Haven of the Wild in Chittenango with a catalog that moves freely between pop, punk, classic rock, and top 40, all run through heavy guitars and hard-hitting drums.
About the Show
Founded in 2009 — originally five Erie elementary schoolers calling themselves M4, Mini Men Making Music, under the guidance of Ryan Krysiak — First to Eleven adopted their current name in December 2015 and haven’t slowed down since. The band has performed at Vans Warped Tour, won the Tri-C High School Rock Off in both 2015 and 2016, and released 14 cover CD volumes alongside weekly YouTube drops (new covers post every Thursday at noon) that have turned them into one of the platform’s more popular music acts. Vocalist Audra Miller, who joined in 2013, fronts a lineup with 44 live dates on the 2026 calendar, touring across two countries. Their approach is genre-agnostic by design: pop hits, alternative rock, punk-leaning arrangements; press materials describe the result as “amped-up weekly renditions” that span whatever style the song calls for. Three members are also part of Concrete Castles, an original pop-rock project signed to Velocity Records and Equal Vision Records in 2021. This Chittenango stop opens a three-date November stretch that continues to Philadelphia the next night and Vienna, Virginia on November 23. No support acts are listed.
Venue & Logistics
The Haven of the Wild sits at 1863 New Boston Road in Chittenango, and the name is not a metaphor. This 14,000-square-foot event venue is surrounded by views of giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest, making it one of the more unusual rooms you’ll find on the central New York show calendar. The show starts at 6:00 p.m. Plan to arrive early; the grounds are part of the experience.
Tickets
Tickets start at $10.00, making this one of the more accessible live shows you’ll find on the fall calendar in central New York. They went on sale September 8, 2026. Buy tickets
