| About Austin & Elliott |
|
The energetic live duo consists of singer/songwriters Chris Elliott and Lisa Austin, who sing about love and death, with biting lyrics, driving guitar, and bracing harmonies.
Their second CD , the 5-cut "Truth That Hurts," is their first full-band effort, produced by Lorne Entress (Lori McKenna, Catie Curtis, Mark Erelli) and featuring guitarist Duke Levine (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jonatha Brooke, Ellis Paul) and bassist Paul Kochanski (Resophonics).
Also available is their debut CD 13 Songs Plus, which is packed with 21 songs performed in stark, powerful fashion. Greg Grant of the Online Folk Festival has this to say: "Just two voices and an acoustic guitar, but the songs are impressive, particularly the mythic folk ballad "Blackwater Dam," which has a timeless quality difficult to achieve."
