ABOUT SHORTSTOP
Shortstop is a Northern Michigan rock band blending classic rock roots, 90s grunge energy, and original music into a sound all their own. The trio delivers high-energy performances and is quickly building a following across Michigan. Elmer and Vaughn met at preschool and have been rocking out ever since. Summer of 2024 they began as a duo with Elmer on Bass and Vaughn on drums and vocals. Joey became a member shortly after and the power trio "Shortstop" was formed, performing their first show in February 2025.
