Elijah Johnston is a singer-songwriter from Athens, GA whose songs bridge the conversational songwriter fare of now and the hooky guitar based music of the past. Growing up surrounded by the wide-open sounds of classic rock radio and The Beach Boys, Johnston later discovered the sardonic lyricism of Pavement, the raw emotions of Animal Collective, and the DIY approach of a whole generation of lo-fi bedroom auteurs, finding a spot in the middle that's both unique and rooted in a pop tradition. Johnston has shared stages with acts like Noah Gundersen, Susto, and Elf Power, establishing a name as a skilled songwriter with a potent live show to match.
