About Elder Grown:
Family and community are the roots of Elder Grown, a band of brothers from Durango, Colorado. They consider every audience member to be their 6th collective member, the heartbeat that fuels their music. Elder Grown is a powerful rock band featuring hip-hop forward funk & soul inspired, original songs. Their improvisational jams serve as the foundation for their captivating and genre-bending music. With groovy bass lines, screaming guitar, and bold saxophone, they invite listeners on a rollercoaster ride of musical exploration.
Switching instruments mid-song, Elder Grown defies conventions and takes you on a journey into the unrecognizably familiar. The band has released three albums and one single so far. Their debut album, "Fire On The Way," released in 2011, an EP called "The Motorhome Mixes," released in 2014, a self-titled full-length album in 2018, and a new album to be released in the fall of 2024.
The band's origin story dates back to the early 90s when the Hoffman brothers—Joshua, John, and Paul—grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, surrounded by their father's performances as a singer-songwriter. Their passion for music grew, and after moving to Southwest Colorado, they formed Elder Grown, embracing their multifaceted musical talents.
Sam Kelly, (saxophone), joined the band during their time at Fort Lewis College. His love for saxophone and unique sound contributed to Elder Grown's evolution.
Brandon Clark, primarily a guitarist, expanded his skills to bass and keyboards to keep up with the band's instrument swapping. His love for classic rock and soulful tunes adds a creative touch to their sound.
Guillaume Metz, a professional guitarist from Paris, France, joined Elder Grown in 2019. His expertise as a lead guitarist, backup vocalist, and auxiliary bassist brought depth and richness to their performances.
Together, Elder Grown continues to captivate audiences with their soul-inspired sound and a commitment to pushing musical boundaries. With a new album on the horizon, they look forward to sharing their journey with their extended family of listeners.
