Elm Treason

Attitude

We are primarily a group playing ORIGINAL compositions, although we do a few covers. We'll probably expand our cover songs repertoire as we go along, but we really are an originals band. That is our main focus. Some important points: Although we have "two gigs a month" listed here as part of our profile, our ultimate goal, obviously, is to play LIVE far more frequently. We want to create a tight live unit centered around our originals with cover versions mixed in. Indeed, we are looking for players who relate to our vibe and groove and want to be a part of what we are doing. (Please check out our songs). But we also want players who can (and are willing) to express themselves within the context of the music. We WANT you to be yourselves as long as you can dig what we're doing. From acoustic to full band rock and roll, we want to be tight. Our attitude: It really IS about the music. Yes, we work, we have lives, families, too...but we are VERY serious about putting together a live version of Elm Treason that will kick ass. In recent times, we've been playing as an acoustic rock duo (although our debut album is NOT an acoustic rock album) to very good success. In fact, we've been booked as an acoustic rock duo several times. Our acoustic set is NOT what you might expect. We do unique acoustic arrangements of songs on our debut album. We even have a few videos of us rehearsing these tracks. We are looking for people who can also go "acoustic" when need be.
