Description
Steve Gunn is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter. With a career spanning nearly fifteen years, Steve has produced volumes of critically acclaimed solo, duo, and ensemble recordings on labels such as Matador Records, Three Lobed Recordings, Paradise of Bachelors, and RVNG. His albums represent milestones of contemporary guitar-driven material, and forward thinking songwriting. Steve has steadily processed his inspirations into a singular, virtuosic stream. Close listening reveals the influence of blues, folk, ecstatic free jazz, and psych in his continually unfolding output. His most recent record Let the Moon Be a Planet (RVNG Intl.), a collaboration with pianist David Moore of Bing & Ruth, was released in March. Steve is currently somewhere working on new music.

James Elkington is an English-born composer, producer and instrumentalist who has resided in Chicago since the late ‘90s. A versatile guitar player, he has toured with Tortoise and collaborated with Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Richard Thompson, Brokeback and Eleventh Dream Day, as well as producing records for Jake Xerxes Fussell, Steve Gunn and Joan Shelley, and releasing three records of guitar duets with Nathan Salsburg. His two solo albums leaned into the bucolic folk-song of his native country, but 2023’s Me Neither and the follow-up Pastel De Nada are instead collections of improvisatory miniatures and incidental observations, reflecting his interest in library and soundtrack music.
