THE ELDERS formed in Kansas City in 1998 and bring their own musical mix of raucous, foot-stomping Americana & Celtic folk-rock.
They have produced seven albums of original songs with vibrant narratives that explore history, legends, tall tales and true life experiences.
With a mesh of styles & textures, soaring vocals, and blazing instrumentals, The Elders have developed a reputation for bristling live shows and even better, a personal and musical chemistry that forges a deep sense of community with their audience.

“Songs of magic and mayhem and of better days ahead … contemporary Irish Folk Rock at its very best.“ Shay Clarke – IRISH AMERICAN NEWS

“Great melodies, harmonies, musicianship, and song writing. The Elders are on a short list of great Celtic-Rock acts from around the world that I would speak proudly of.” John Bowles – Paddy Rock Radio

“The key to the band’s success is in its flawless blending of the Celtic storytelling tradition with contemporary instrumentation and, perhaps more importantly, their ability to write original songs that sound as timeless and authentic as the ancient jigs and reels that have inspired them.” Brian Baker – PASTE MAGAZINE

“This Kansas City powerhouse is still growing musically, as evidenced by ‘Wanderin‘ Life & Times,’ strong story-telling and poetic lyrics backed by carefully thought-out musical accompaniment, at the same time capturing much of the energy and eclecticism of a live Elders show.” Mark Sisti – Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural Events

“This band started off great and has only gotten better over the years. The rich arrangements create strong moods from anthem sounding songs to more folky things. Their timeless sound deserves to be heard.”
