Announcing a new record from Caleb Elliott!
Louisiana singer/songwriter Caleb Elliott will release his debut album Forever To Fade on March 8th on Single Lock Records. On the album's twelve tracks, Elliott layers soulful string scores over that booming, dirty-sweet groove that gave name to the Muscle Shoals Sound and John Cale-inspired arrangements.
First single "Makes Me Wonder" is available today. The track opens with a lush 70s-era symphonic soul string score and quickly gives way to an in-the pocket beat overlayed with Diaphanous organ, electric sitar and glockenspiel riffs.

In 2018, Spotify highlighted Caleb Elliott's song "Get Me Out Of Here," which was added to numerous playlists including the prestigious "Fresh Folk" and "Chill As Folk" playlists. The song has been heard over 300,000 times to date in over 77 countries.
This swamp-art-rock record bridges the distance between the classically-trained sideman Elliott was to the songwriting frontman he's become; the 480 miles between his musical origins in Natchitoches Louisiana and a gothic upbringing inside a cult-style religion to finding mental and artistic liberation.
"Caleb brings a really impressive arsenal of tools and talents, and his songs don't always follow the typical rules or structures of a lot of singer-songwriters," says Tanner. "They usually surprise me in where they go melodically, harmonically, or structurally."
While riding in the backseats of tour vans with Nicole Atkins, Dylan LeBlanc and Travis Meadows, and backing other artists like Lera Lynn, John Paul White, Donnie Fritts and Sean McConnell in the studio, Elliott never stopped writing his own materials. To record Forever To Fade, he joined forces with Tanner and Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell, while John Paul White added backing vocals. Forever to Fade shows he's ready to take the wheel.
