Cute. This is from his "Write Something About Yourself" box on Facebook. Elliot Randall says, "Not the guy from Steely Dan. He has two 't's. I am 27 and play Americana/Alt Country music. :)"
This Elliot Randall is from San Francisco, where he still resides. I have known about him for a few years now, but this year's SXSW was our first meeting, and I am happy to report that Music Fog was there to capture it! Randall's last album captivated me, especially the tune "Second Time Around." A fine piece of writing indeed, well produced, well done. Check it out if you have a chance. And then there was last year's Elliot Randall and Gina Villalobos "California Tour," of which, Music Fog was a presenting sponsor.
Elliot has a brand new CD out, Caffeine and Gasoline which just broke into the top 20 of the Americana Airplay chart. Number 18, to be exact, this week! So congrats are in order to a really talented and in the pocket artist. Here he is from Threadgill's during SXSW last month, with his band The Deadmen doing the title tune from the CD. Kick ass!
