Grammy Award-winning bassist, David Ellefson, and Chip Z’Nuff (Enuff Z’Nuff) have teamed up under the moniker Ellefson Z’Nuff to deliver a fresh take on a classic rock anthem by Cheap Trick.
In December 2024, Ellefson released a powerful rendition of “Ah! Leah!”, a beloved track by Donnie Iris, also with Chip Z’Nuff on vocals along with Stephen Shareaux of Kik Tracee.
The track “Downed” originally appearing as a hidden bonus track on Ellefson’s 2020 No Cover album, but has been remixed and is now available across all digital streaming platforms.
Musicians appearing on the track:
– Vocals: Chip Z’Nuff
– Bass: David Ellefson
– Guitars: Drew Fortier
– Drums: Mike Heller
– Guest Vocals: Vin Dombroski
Produced by David Ellefson & Drew Fortier
Mixed & Mastered by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Recording, London, England
Ellefson reflects on the project: “It’s always a thrill to go back into our record collections and pay homage to the artists who inspired us. Cheap Trick are absolute legends, and Downed is one of those deep cuts that had a huge influence on me and so many others. These covers are a tribute to the songs and musicians who shaped our careers.”
David Ellefson is best known as the co-founder and longtime bassist of Megadeth, is an active solo artist and the creator of the David Ellefson Bass Coalition, where he also co-hosts The David Ellefson Show podcast with Joshua Toomey. Fans can explore his ventures, including Ellefson Coffee Co., at the Ellefson Emporium.
Chip Z’Nuff is the vocalist/bassist/guitarist for Enuff Z’Nuff, the Chicago-based rock band that has remained a staple of the genre since the ‘80s. He has also collaborated with Adler’s Appetite (featuring ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler) and Zen From Mars (with Stephen Shareaux of Kik Tracee and Drew Fortier of The Lucid).
