Episode 137: Elliott BROOD Have Been Writing & Playing Music, Touring and Creating for Over 20 Years and Today They Perform LIVE From Hot Jupiter Sounds
Elliott BROOD is a three-piece Canadian alternative country band featuring Mark Sasso (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica), Casey Laforet (guitar, lead vocals, backing vocals, bass pedals, keys, ukulele), and Stephen Pitkin (percussion, sampler, backing vocals). Known for embracing a “van life” tour style, the band thrives on exploring global venues and connecting with diverse audiences. Growing up in Windsor, Ontario the band has dazzled us with their talents and storytelling having shared stages with the likes of Wilco, War On Drugs, The Head and the Heart, Blue Rodeo, The Black Crowes, Corb Lund and The Sadies. Their latest albums “Town” and “Country” capture themes of nostalgia and celebration of where they are in their lives today.
In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the music industry, discussing the importance of authentic storytelling through lyrics and why perfection isn’t the goal. Fresh off an East Coast tour, Mark and Casey reflect on the influence of Gord Downie, the unique journey of being a Canadian band, and how trust and friendship have fueled their longevity. We exchange presents, pleasantries and pumpkin truffles with these new friends! Plus, stick around for a special treat—Mark and Casey perform live just for us!
