Elliot didn't set out to play guitar - one was handed to him so he could help with his mom's music-ed classes. But over time, it grew on him. It may have been a chore at first, but now it's a part of who he is. His music roots are planted in hyms, classical, and gospel, but his influences stretch from Skynyrd and Staind to Dwight Yoakam and Creed. He's an avid pool player, a frustrated golfer, and spends time in the fall chasing whitetails and processing the harvest for family and friends.

Born and raised in Wayne County, OH, Evan's no stranger to the country lifestyle Homeland sings about. He's dabbled in everything from classical and Broadway to full-throttle rock. On the stage or by the workbench, his deep love for musical instruments extends not just to playing them, but to fixing or customizing them to his own preference. He's got a soft spot for old things with a story to tell, whether it's a weather guitar, a vintage rifle, or a well-worn hand tool.
