Since their beginnings with the EP, Tin Type, home of the cult hit, "Oh, Alberta!", to their Juno-nominated, full length albums Ambassador and Mountain Meadows, Elliott BROOD have earned the praise of connoisseurs and critics alike. They've won over legions of fans with their raw and energetic live shows and their atmospheric, richly crafted records, making a name for themselves worldwide. They've carried their tune through seven cross Canada marathons, including the headlining spot on the Exclaim! Magazine sponsored Wood, Wires & Whiskey tour and opening shows for Wilco, Blue Rodeo, Corb Lund and The Sadies. They have completed five European tours, playing Festivals throughout Europe, Great Britain and Scandinavia, including opening spots in Spain with The Black Crowes and in Paris with Broken Social Scene. The BROOD also made their debut in Australia with the release of Ambassador on ABC Records in the spring of 2008... In 2006, Ambassador earned The BROOD a Juno nomination for best Roots/Traditional album and the Galaxy Rising Star Award for Best New Artist, landing them on Best of Lists from The Globe & Mail to CBC Radio 3, and a four-star review from British music mag UNCUT. Ambassador kept them on the college radio charts in Canada for over 17 weeks... In June, 2008 Elliott BROOD released Mountain Meadows. If your memory doesn't stretch back to June 2008 (let alone Utah 1857), Mountain Meadows lasted 21 weeks in top 50 college radio, peaking nationally at number 3 (Earshot) and number 1 (CBC R3-30). The album captured its share of year-end accolades, earning the band a second Juno nomination for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year and one for CD Artwork/design, also snagging 1 spot on Exclaim's Wood, Wires and Whisky Reader's Choice award. They graced the Exclaim! magazine cover in July, 2008, and both Uncut and Q magazine rewarded Mountain Meadows generous 4-star reviews in the UK. Scoring a more recent goal, their ukelele driven "The Valley Town" was featured on Hockey Night in Canada's Stanley Cup Playoffs intro. Mountain Meadows made the short list for the 2009 Polaris Prize for best Canadian Album... Just this past fall The BROOD brought their traveling Future Ghost Towns Tour to cities all across North America as Mountain Meadows became the groups first release in the USA, through Ryko/ADA. Mountain Meadows debuted on the American Music charts at number 37 and stayed in the Top 40 for 4 weeks. 2009 also saw the group lend its musical styles to the Canadian feature film "Grown Up Movie Star" which is set to have its Premier at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. ...... ....
