BIO.
This neo-folk, singer/songwriter focuses on acoustic groove, delivering powerful vocals and ripping harmonica melodies while strumming the guitar and playing foot percussion. This one-man-band approach was cultivated by life at the end of the map in Wyoming. His muse, the mountainous landscape and forests of the American West.
Bo also has almost a decade of fronting the Canyon Kids (www.canyonkidsmusic.com) under his belt, but just released his first solo album, “Love & Good Luck", in 2018. His music is catchy with big hooks that you will be humming the next day. With lyrics about the ups and downs of mountain town living, he combines his musicality with his unique experiences of the growing pains of taking the road less traveled to the least populated state.
Elledge switched it up in 2019 and moved to the heart of downtown Seattle. He has since released three singles, one of which was recently played on KEXP. However, the Covid-19 pandemic caused him to come back to Jackson, WY.
You can can expect 2021 releases from Bo and Canyon Kids. When live music returns you can expect to see them playing music regionally throughout Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, & Utah.
Some of the most notable critically acclaimed acts he has recently shared the stage with include: JJ Grey & Mofro, Lukas Nelson, Anderson East, Susto, White Denim, Hayes Carll, and The Infamous Stringdusters.
