Artist Detailed Info: Green Elder

Green Elder is a neofolk project that combines Appalachian, Celtic, and traditional folk influences to explore the natural beauty of the Earth. Working to paint the Appalachian landscape in sound, both by giving its natural seasonal beauty aural life and its mythical lore an abstract presence, Green Elder hints at both with a metaphysical cosmic manifestation—a pillar of rough light shining from the hills into the dusk, nursing life as it goes on with its hidden ways away from the prying eyes of man. With songs reminiscent of the jubilant excursion of life among the wood and fields as fauna finds food bountiful and flora reaches toward the sun with vitality, these tracks remind us that the coming harvests of autumn and the hardships of winter are inevitable and ever-present. With both joy and sadness, every trip around the sun brings the coming dark.

The band employs a DIY approach to recording and releases so each piece of music is carefully crafted using a variety of traditional acoustic instruments played in a natural setting.
