Biography

"Plaintive, soft-spoken and with vulnerability front and center, John Elliott’s music rides a diagonal which crosses the early work of Ben Gibbard. For those who wish the Death Cab singer’s work had stayed bedroom-sized instead of distending into stadium rock, Elliott’s gentle Rhodes and reverby guitar may have what you’ve been missing." -Good Times Santa Cruz "John Elliott’s lyrics get in, make their statement, kick you in the teeth, and get out before they start talking too much...And this lends to the urge of rolling any track to its beginning for another spin." -San Diego Troubadour "A legend among songwriters…bold and brave…incredible poet and performer…his shows are not to be missed." -The Austin Chronicle "In case you're feeling more reflective than turned up this New Year's, fear not — there's a perfect song for you, too. San Francisco singer/songwriter John Elliott's "At The End Of The Year" is the perfect late-night/early-morning soundtrack for the baton pass from the old you, to the new you. On the first single from his upcoming album, North Star, Elliott sings with a fresh frankness, "Everything is changing down here at the end of the year," and somehow we know something better is just around the corner. It must be." -Grammy.com “John Elliott is the Andy Kaufman of folk music.” Human 1 “Post Seinfeld, Post 9/11 Eyebrow Rock.” Human 2 “Well crafted and artful songs by a potentially disturbed individual.” Human 3 Singer/songcyclist.
