biographical info
"Let us always remember: David R. Elliott is a romantic. His voice may be as whiskey-n-cigarette scratched as the crackle and hiss of his recordings, but somehow not a feeling is lost in translation. Before moving to Halifax in 2009, Elliott spent several years in Saint John, perfecting a literary, working-man approach to folk music. Inspired equally by the dark and rustic feel of Springsteen’s Nebraska, as the bounce and flow of hip-hop lyricism, Elliott’s catalogue is vast and varied – anchored by folk’s most enduring image: a voice and a guitar. He sings impassioned songs about pretty girls on windy days, with the quiet grace of the country greats your grandparents used to love." -Ben Burnett
