Bo Elledge is a singer songwriter based in Jackson, WY where he's spent the better part of a decade crafting songs and fronting the rock band, Canyon Kids. Just releasing his first solo album in February 2018, Elledge gives us something the Burning Ear describes as "fluttery, light, and catchy, a sound that envelopes you". The 33 year old South Carolina native finds inspiration for his music in the National Parks of the West. His debut EP aims to capture the listener through stories of love with an underlying acoustic groove. His Sophomore Album is due out Summer 2019!

"We couldn’t ignore Bo Elledge's latest release Persistent Dude. Picking up on a classic rock-on-folk guitar and a Johny Cash and June Carter like style, this is a modern take that showcases how perfect song-writing simplicity can sound like. Beautiful little thing."
". . .something unique, and intriguing. Fluttery, light, and catchy, the sound envelopes you as Bo lets you into a snapshot of his world"
"Canyon Kids frontman & guitarist/percussionist Bo Elledge has dedicated the better part of the last decade to song craft. He’s a persistent dude."
"A lot of saxophone and a lack of drums add to the coffee-shop-on-an-early-summer-morning vibes of the EP."
