Elbury

Blending lyrical folk with hints of swing and blues, Elbury work to bring thought-provoking songs to an audience who are appreciative of strong melodies and warm guitar arrangements. Since their early writing sessions, Edward and Michael have drawn on their diverse musical interests to create an aural experience which has been praised by folk, blues and indie fans alike. In 2011, Elbury saw that it was time to expand their sound and started the search for a bass player. After a quick audition process, Edward and Michael quickly settled on the talents and low grooves of Tom Beith.
