May 2011 Featured Artist: Elk River TFA

Elk River TFA is the product of four long-time musicians whose goal is to strip the music down to its bare essentials and have fun making it.

The singing and song writing invokes the timeless old legends, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Neil Young to name a few. Heartfelt and sometimes funny stories abound, and emotions on the sleeve are there in spades. The musicianship is extraordinary and the recording is simply awesome. Tasteful leads and dynamic, searing solos are framed by a flawless and danceable rhythm section. The four-part vocal harmonies are a well-executed icing on top of an already tasty slice of country-fried cake.
