Elliot Road, made up of brothers James and John Beasley, will be bringing their music to town Saturday night as they perform at the Iron Horse Concert Hall.
James and John have been writing and performing since they were in middle school.
They started off as guitar players in rock bands, quickly developing a passion for singing and performing a unique blend of alternative acoustic folk music rooted in old-time country.
Their set list includes progressive music accompanied by traditional instruments of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin and harmonica.
They get their name from their father’s first band, “Elliot Rhode.” Their father played an important role in their musical career, instilling a passion for music in them at an early age.
Their mission is “to create good music that attracts a global listening audience.”
Their debut studio album is “The Dust Covered Man,” and it showcases their vocal range and song writing ability. It will be released later this month.
Based in Wichita, they have performed throughout the Midwest.
Saturday’s performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Iron Horse, 315 S. Main (enter through Circle Gallery). It is presented by the FlintHills Folk Music Guild.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors. For more information, call 321-6348.
