U.S. Elevator will transport you. And not just up and down but to enchanting musical places near and far. Their music is filled with loving and wily winks at the visionary forces of the 1960’s and 1970’s—The Beatles, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Gram Parsons, and the Hollies for starters—and is the same time thoroughly original, contemporary, and richly melodic. The Santa Barbara based band is the brainchild of Johnny Irion, musical partner and husband of Sarah Lee Guthrie. Following Sarah Lee and Johnny’s fifth album, the acclaimed Wassaic Way and two solo albums, johnny assembled U. S. Elevator as the rocking alter-ego to the couples eclectic and unbounded folk music.
Extra Classic: “---like the Cramps, these guys have taken all their favorite sounds and combined them into something new and balls-out trippy---as if someone had kidnapped a chanteuse from Pentangle--and propped her up in front and then had them tour the Congo.” L.A. RECORD
