The soaring tenor voice heard on most of the leads in 42Five's songs belong to none other than "Big" Earl Elkins. Involved in organized musical groupings at a very early age, Earl has literally traveled the globe in pursuit of the ultimate vocal challenge. Earl's rock opera tenor voice has been heard from England to Japan while he was touring as an ambassador of the city of Orlando, with then Mayor, Glenda Hood.

Earl also plays a large part in creating original music for 42Five. Many of the melodies and alternate harmonies heard in 42Five's catchy tunes come from Earl's spontaneous noodeling around, and end up being some of the most creative spots in 42Five's albums and live performances. When not working with 42Five, Earl can be seen performing on several world class cruise lines and around Orlando including Crush at Disney's Animal Kingdom's Finding Nemo, The Musical.

As well as vocal talent, Earl also possesses instrumental talent as a French horn and trumpet player. He has been with 42Five since its inception in the beginning of 2000. With his powerful voice and commanding stage presence, he is an undeniable asset to 42Five.
