The scope of the Family Elan’s output is broad, ranging from self penned reflective meditations which rotate on a devotional harmonic axis, to irreverent interpretations of Bollywood hits, to Turkic folk forms filtered through a psychedelic rock praxis.
Perhaps the unifying strand in all this is a deep interest in traditional music forms and their reinvention through communal group playing.
The Family Elan is currently performing as a trio, featuring Chris Hladowski on electric bouzouki/Turkish saz/vocals, Harry Wheeler on electric bass and Mark Hearne on percussion/vocals.
