Do you enjoy pop music? Does your
Louisiana pride get you dancing to a
Cajun beat? Do you love to watch for fun
new talent? Then this concert is ‘Where
You Wanna Be!’ Caleb Elliott is a singer,
songwriter, cellist, guitarist, band leader, and
child prodigy, but none of this can give you
the feel for his fun, free-ranging pop style.
With experienced collaborators like vocalist
Susan Cowsill, bassist Tom Drummond
of Better Than Ezra, and guitarist Sam
Broussard of Steve Riley & The Mamou
Playboys, Caleb Elliott has taken his labor
of love and produced his debut album,
‘Where You Wanna Be,’ with the help of
online donations through Kickstart.com. Born and raised in Natchitoches, the
Lafayette-based artist also penned all the songs on his debut album, making
it a true personal journey for him artistically and stylistically. As his web bio
states, “Elliott’s songs are slices of love and life, stories of folks looking for
their place in this world. From the bouzouki-and-tremolo-fueled folk-rock of
‘Speaking of’ to the lovelorn ruminations of ‘I Would Never’ and on through
the joyriding title track reprise of ‘Le Reel Fâché,’ ‘Where You Wanna Be’ is an
album to remember.”
This free concert is open to the public, so don’t miss out!
