Hey I'm Elliott, grew up in Chanhassen, curretnly in lovely south Minneapolis. I was with the Johnny Holm Band out of high school for four years, and now i'm playing with several things around the cities, but mostly I've been playing with Eric Hutchinson, and we're are currently on tour with Kelly Clarkson(I'll put up some pictures soon). It's a gas, great people, seeing the world. Some of the other groups I play with are: Sonido Nuevo (Latin), Dirty Word (Funk/Rock Cover band), The Intentions (My Group ,some groovy covers, some of my tunes) The tunes on my page are the product of my solo album: Elliott. It is available on itunes or please contact me if you'd like a copy. I'll try to keep the schedule updated for all the groups. I don't care where you go, that's the dullest bio you're gonna find.
What's up? Just wanted to stop by the page to give you props on your album!! Thanx 4 letting me & my wife check out a copy... "Stay True 2 U & Real With Others"
