Formed in 2002, Elliott Brood united teenage pals Casey Laforet, Mark Sasso over their grown-up love for Neil Young, the Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Stephen Pitkin was an accidental miracle: he fell into the group after working sound at one of their earliest concerts, offering to record their first EP. Tin Type was a college radio hit and soon this compact trio was making some big noise. Across five subsequent albums, sharing vocals and trading instruments – each of the band-members seems to play everything – Elliott Brood have become one of the premier acts in Canadian roots music.

Elliott BROOD will perform at the Spencerville Mill on Thursday September 22 at 7:30PM.
