Will Elliott | Clay Koweek | Sasha Lewton | Guest Artists
Growing up as a preacher's son in the small hardscrabble mill city of Fall River, Massachusetts, Will Elliott first taught himself, at the age of fifteen, to play guitar by listening to Willie Nelson’s
pristine concept album,
Red Headed
Stranger. Will was drawn to the music of Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, and Gram Parsons
and cites them as his musical influences and eventually began to write
his own songs by the time he turned nineteen years old.

Clay's father tells a story of how, on the day his son was born, he snuck a
walkman into the hospital and played Hank Williams through the headphones for the newborn's ears.
There's no way of knowing if this tale is true, and some people have a
hard time believing that Clay's dad even had a walkman in 1985. But regardless, the fact
is that music was a constant presence in Clay's early years because his father was a member of the Desert Riders,
a Tucson band, so musicians were always visiting his home. Clay received his first guitar at the age of two, and since the instrument's size dwarfed him slightly, he played it like an upright bass. That same guitar
has since been passed down to Clay's younger brother and sister.
