After releasing his debut album “Eely” (a nickname amongst bandmates), Elliott moved from his hometown of Santa Cruz, CA, to Portland Oregon, where he and his band continue to write, record, and perform his imaginative songs. Due in October 2024, his second album, “Going Away Party”, celebrates the sorrow of leaving, the joy of arriving, and whatever happens in between.  An ode to wanderlust for the homebody, and hibernation for the vagabond.

Drawing on themes of dislocation and dreamlike imagery, Strange Pilgrim is an exploration of living in an increasingly unfamiliar world. Much of their lyrical content focuses on the social and political uncertainty of these times, on connecting with nature, and on yearning for some form of freedom.

Building on his experience as a journeyman musician, Jeff Moller writes slacker anthems that sound like a fog-pop Tom Petty - full of his trademark sardonic humor, catchy melodic hooks, and colorful

Though we may have a set list in mind, we play to those present; in the moment; and to the physical size of the room. We strive to create a musical "space" - that magical ambience where the sound is perfect and we are free to connect with our listeners. It is in that space that we can best express ourselves and respond to those who are tuned in.Animated, funky, and lively at times - we like to go deep, too.

Fay Hallam is a hugely respected Hammond organist, singer and songwriter, with over 10 albums to her credit and a career already spanning over thirty years. She first came to prominence in Wolverhampton Mod-popsters, Makin' Time, in the early 1980's, along with a pre-Charlatans Martin Blunt. She and Martin, along with drummer John Brookes, then went on to form The Gift Horses, which were the embryonic beginnings of The Charlatans, which Martin and John then went on to form. Fay’s next project, was as the vocalist and organist in the now legendary, Prime Movers. This took on a rockier more progressive sound, including the 'Earth Church' LP, which was hailed by the now-defunct Sounds Music Weekly, as LP of the year. Since then, Fay has gone on to make over 10 albums, as Phaze, The Fay Hallam Trinity, and then as a solo artist, initially on the Blow Up label, with her 2015 album release, "Corona". Her second solo album release, "House Of Now" was released on Well Suspect Records in October 2016, received rave reviews, and gained airplay on BBC 6 Music and BBC London.

“The Brothers Strong are known for high level musical authenticity. Like the wood, water, and stone of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from which they hail, their sound is sculpted by a timeless aggregate of people and place. This four-piece string band is on a resonant exploration of the human condition with the singular mission to make music that acts a conduit for genuine connectivity. The resulting collection of original material has taken shape in rowdy and resilient tales of love and loss, intermingled with passionately precise instrumental interludes.”
