Praise The Fallen was formed in 2010 with members Jonathan Burkholder on drums, Jammie Bosstel on guitar and vocals , and former guitarist of Lillian Axe/ Brand New Machine Jon Ster on guitar and bass. They recorded their self-titled debut cd from 2010 to 2011. Later, the band split up due to Ster moving back to Dallas and persuing Brand New Machine. November of 2014 brought forth the tragic news that Jon Ster had passed due to congestive heart failure. Burkholder and Bosstel decided to put together a show in honor of Jon, enlisting the help of longtime friend and former touring keyboardist for Poison, Andy Kendall who remains involved in the project by handling production duties for the band.
2015 has been a busy year. After the Ster memorial, Jonathan Burkholder and Jammie Bosstel parted ways, largely due to creative differences. Jammie paired up with bassist Sean Little (who also currently plays with Jammie in the Chicago based rock band Blindspt). Sean has since moved to Milwaukee, and decided to focus his efforts on Blindspt. The lineup has been solidified with the help of area musicians Bryan Almaguer on guitar, Steven Moore on bass and Patrick Bayless on drums.
