ABOUT

Hey everyone! My name is Elan and I'm putting together a group called the Islands, a fun folk/pop band with unique instrumentation. I've toured LA in the past and plan on touring with this new group around the west coast.

Currently I am looking for two to three talented musicians. A ukulele player and a percussionist specializing in hand percussion such as cajon, bongos, foot percussion, and tambourine. Singing ability is not required but is a huge huge plus.

Members Of Band

The music you will be playing is normally upbeat folk style music. My arrangements tend to use complex chord structures coupled with dense harmonies to create a unique sound. I have been playing and writing music for over 10 years and appreciate all the extra thought process and expertise I can get.

If you are interested in a potential touring group that likes to have fun playing great music and can put on a show please try out! Band experience is a huge plus but not required.

If you are interested in trying out please text or call me at 805-914-9893
