drDave Elliott
Acoustic fingerstyle singer-songwriter; kind of a mashup of Leonard Cohen, Nellie McKay, Stuart Davis, Jason Mrasz, with a little Martin Simpson thrown in. Working on my CD, that I hope will be out this Spring: "The Suburban Book of the Dead."
Do you play live?
Have played live in Chicago, Evanston and England.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Breaks the record companies hold on artists and in combination with studio quality home recording and internet distribution, will completely change how music is developed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It is to laugh. .. .
Your influences?
People listed above. Everyone from Tom Lehrer to Tom Waits. A combination of fingerstyle guitar and influences that range from Regina Spektor to Leo Kottke.
Equipment used:
Too many guitars: Nigel Forster 6 string; 11 string harp guitar from Lance McCollum that Michael Hedges ordered but died before he could pick up; 8 string acoustic from Michael Sanden in Sweden; Rainsong WS1000; 1890 Adams Harp Guitar; Peterson Cittern; Lazy River Weissenborn; Parker Fly electric; 1929 National Triolion and 1935 National Trojan
