Tech Rider of the ELM collective (pdf)
What the critics say:
ELM Collective - what a cool band. These guys are each heavy musicians in their own right, and they pool their virtuosity and international influences in really interesting ways. It's a unique palette to begin with--flutes, oud, keyboard, guitar, percussion, drumset and bass--but what I also liked about it was that each tune had rhythmic integrity from identifiable, different sources like James Brown funk, middle-eastern odd meters, samba blues, etc. combined in seamless, intricate ways. After only one year of playing together in this format, these guys have great synergy and momentum. I'm looking forward to hearing more from them.

What the presenters say:
This year was the first to feature a Sunday music series in downtown Raleigh’s newly restored Meymandi Theatre at the Murphey School. The ELM Collective was the opening show of the season and clearly set the tone and standard for all the other acts to follow. Alive with energy and emotion, this talented group of deeply-skilled musicians captivated the crowd with two incredible sets of international jazz. The unique blending of instrumentation within their original compositions filled the theatre with a beautiful harmony that still resonates in the rafters today. It is only fitting that the ELM Collective will be closing out the series season, by returning for the year’s final show. And we hope they’ll continue to impress and entertain us for years to come.
