Elliott Brood is a three-piece alternative country band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, consisting of Mark Sasso on lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukelele and harmonica, Casey Laforet on guitar, backing vocals, bass pedals, keys and ukelele and Stephen Pitkin on percussion, sampler and backing vocals. The band bills its own style as "death country".
Luckily guitar/vocalist duo Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet invited the near-capacity crowd to abandon the church pews and fill the aisles for some dancing which totally revived the vibe of the show.
The band has been elusive to me since then but having continued to hear great things about their live performance I knew that I could not wait much longer before I had to go check them out for myself.
