Midwest singer-songwriter Chad Elliott blends folk roots, swampy blues and soulful writing to deliver an original Americana sound. His live performances have been honed over a decade of being on the road performing more than 200 shows each year. Elliott is lauded as “Iowa’s Renaissance man” by Culture Buzz Magazine. He has penned more than 1,500 songs in his career while also cultivating his skills as a painter, sculptor, illustrator and author (Wilderman’s Treetop Tales; Rumble & Flash).
“That man’s music is as honest as was Woody Guthrie’s.” - Atesh Sonneborn, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings
Elliott’s early career demonstrates a love of folk, roots and singer-songwriter music. He has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Ruthie Foster, Jimmie Vaughan, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, etc.
Violinist Kathryn Fox is a DownBeat award winning artist. She played on the Grammy-nominated track “All My Tomorrows” with Kate McGarry. She has recorded with George Benson, The Beach Boys, Pharrell Williams, Gloria Estefan and Osmond Brothers. Kathryn has leaned into songwriting in recent years, penning hundreds of songs at the piano, guitar and mandolin. Drawing from her love of folk, Western swing and jazz music, Kathryn’s writing varies in feel and approach, and leads with imagery and memorable melodies.
Come join us Friday the 14th, as songwriters Chad Elliott and Kathryn Fox show us a rare demonstration of Midwest songcraft in our little concert hall in the woods.
