Description:
130 Jackson presents Landon Elliott in concert on Tuesday, January 14, 2020.

Join us for an intimate acoustic performance with Landon Elliott.

Landon Elliott is an old spirit, and it shows in his voice. Its rasp and grain, forged in North Carolina’s huge-sky Outer Banks, where he lived until he was 18, bring his songs so resonantly to life that by rights it should belong to a much older person. That impression is accentuated by his mountain-man build and beard, but, mainly, it’s the voice that strikes you.

Elliott’s tunes tell stories about a way of life and what happens when you break away from it, and his singing hits you in the gut. If he makes you reconsider your own world-view, he’ll be happy: the reason he makes music is to let people know he’s in their corner. "I’m trying to give my doubts a name and place, because a lot of people relate to that,” he says. “I hope they get to feel that their own doubts are heard".

Elliott is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who grew up in one of America’s most beautiful but culturally conservative places. In his teens, like most of his friends, he attended an evangelical church, and was urged to pursue a religious path. After studying at a North Carolina bible college, he moved to Richmond, Virginia, where he became a minister.

That was when his life changed. Exposed to Richmond’s wide spectrum of cultures and beliefs, he began to question Christian doctrine, and eventually started to re-examine his faith. Having written music since middle school, he poured his uncertainty into songs.
