Elliot is a culmination of more than a decade of songwriting and friendship. Drawing inspiration from just about every style of music, Elliot has fashioned an incredibly unique and inspiring sound. Even more consistent than the sound of Elliot is the heart behind their music. Spending time with this group of fun loving friends will show you much more than a band in search of fame and fortune. Elliot is comprised of individuals whose concern for humanity and social justice overshadows even the music they play. They see music as a way to bring change; to open eyes. Their desire is for their music to be an avenue to hope, joy, and a life separate from the norm. Elliot’s passion is to create music that resonates with people and gives them hope for that moment in time when they are ready to quit. As such, they write songs that break through darkness into hopeless situations and bring Truth. It is the belief of the band that the best music comes from being honest about life. Their lyrics explore matters of faith and doubt; justice and injustice; the broken and the whole. Many songs are more like 4 minute questions put to music--without an ounce of blind acceptance in the lyrics they write. Lead vocalist, Corey Parnell, describes Elliot's music as both inspiring and challenging to listeners: “I just want to write music that gives people hope, helps them see there’s more to live for and more to do. I want them to get done listening and adopt an orphan, help out at a local food bank, or simply forgive somebody. These are the kinds of things that make me feel truly alive and, I don’t know--maybe it’s idealistic--but I want our music to cause those kinds of things to happen.”
