Thank you for the music! Elk Attack kicks off their first national tour on Morning Music with Grady Kirkpatrick at the Wyoming Public Media studios in Laramie. WY.

(credit: Elk Attack) Elk Attack has emerged as one of the most exciting sounds in the small but vibrant music scene of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In its initial stages Elk Attack was three members: lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Bo Elledge, lead guitarist Dusty Nichols, and violinist Gabby Kouchacji. Originally a vocal harmony oriented and acoustic trio, they sought a rhythm section to expand their sound. Drummer John Wayne Harris and bassist Adam Woolley stepped in to provide that indie-rock edge. Influenced by artists such as My Morning Jacket, Wilco, George Harrison, and Ryan Adams, Elk Attack began to craft their material: a unique blend of folk instrumentation, three part vocal harmony, and experimental rock. Since their debut performance the group has packed the bars and clubs in its surrounding area and raised the eyebrows of local talent seekers. Before too long they were asked to support a number of national touring acts, including G Love and Special Sauce, Robert Randloph and the Family Band, The Young Dubliners and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
