Introduction to music and The Early November Enders began playing guitar after being inspired by watching his step dad, Robert Gazzara, play in a band. Enders taught himself how to play his step dad's old guitar. In February 2001, Enders along with guitarist Jim Sacco, bassist Sergio Anello and drummer Jeff Kummer formed
The Early November. In 2003, after the release of their first two EPs For All of This, and The Acoustic EP, the band released their debut full-length album ''
The Room's Too Cold''. In 2004, Enders started his own solo project
I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business, releasing the
self-titled album on October 26, 2004. Enders later stated in a 2008 interview that I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business "was a one-album thing". Recording of the third Early November album began in February 2005. The album, titled
The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path, was a
triple disc concept album with an entwining plot of a torn family, from the perspective of a growing child. The album took over a year to complete due to a multitude of issues, but was eventually released in 2006. They embarked on a brief headline tour in early 2007 with
The Rocket Summer, Melee, and The Verdict. On March 13, 2007, on the eve of the tour's conclusion, The Early November announced that the band had agreed to go on an indefinite hiatus to spend more time with loved ones. Their final pre-hiatus show was a March 15, 2007 performance at
South By Southwest. Enders, along with the rest of The Early November, reunited and began performing again in 2011. Since reuniting, they have released four studio albums, and have toured with acts such as
The Wonder Years,
Cartel,
All Time Low, Young Statues,
The Swellers,
Seahaven,
Man Overboard,
Into It. Over It.,
Hit The Lights, and more.
