Tangle with the Ghost set for release Nov. 13, 2020

Chad Elliott’s 24th studio album, Tangle with the Ghost, is a rich collection of Americana roots songs. It was recorded alongside other Iowa artists at Old School Studios in Auburn, IA with producer/artist Todd Partridge.

The record, set for a Nov. 13, 2020 release, is sonically diverse. Each track is like a painting or vignette reckoning with the dark night of the soul. “Sometimes you must do the things that frighten you the most. That’s why I still tangle with the ghost,” Elliott sings on the title track.

While not always autobiographical, each character conveyed seems to be wrestling with their own ghosts of a vivid past. Elliott spent many years immersing in America’s subcultures, roaming its backroads and alleyways and Tangle with the Ghost is result.

Tangle with the Ghost will be released as a digital download only. Find out how to download the album here: https://chadelliott.hearnow.com/tangle-with-the-ghost. (Downloads will not work until Nov. 13, 2020.)

Introducing: The Wildervan

8/11/2020

Chad Elliott has a new ride: The Wildervan. This new van will allow Elliott the opportunity to transport whole art exhibits to and from galleries across the country. It will also serve as a home-on-wheels for him while he tours the country. In fact, he even plans to create works of art while touring, now that he'll have the space he needs.

Elliott is currently working to renovate the inside of the van to accommodate life on the road. So far, he has a bed and a storage area for his sound equipment. He will be adding much, much more, but it'll take time and funds.

Be on the lookout at shows for the Wildervan!

Chad Elliott was featured in the June 2020 issue of Okoboji Magazine. The article covers everything from how he started in the music business, to his recent painting work and even how he's handling Covid-19 as an artist.

“I sometimes wonder how it all landed where it landed. I’m touring, playing my own songs and I’m also there dropping off my kids on the first day of school. I think artists need to hear that that’s a possibility. It’s all in my Google calendar! It’s a dream come true and it keeps getting sweeter and sweeter.” - Chad Elliott
