I grew up in a household full of melodies and instruments. My parents practiced with their band in the basement and I mimicked their tunes on my little organ. I started playing guitar around the age of seven and, following my big sister’s taste in heavy metal, I was playing Iron Maiden at nine. It was the eighties! As a young adult, I wrote and recorded a punk-pop album, and co-wrote an electro-rock album with my husband Mitch Leduc under the bandname August Elliot, which I fronted. Though my main instrument is the guitar, I will mess around with anything I lay my hands on. Future projects are currently on hold but I am trying to tame the banjo.
August Elliot is rain shine in your chocolate milk cereal, with me at the mic and guitar and my husband Mitch at the bass and electronic beeps and boops!
