Description

The Elders UNDER 21 WITH PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN The Elders The Elders return to the Dove! The Elders retired from touring at the end of 2018. They performed two events in 2019. A cruise ship tour and the Kansas City Plaza Lighting ceremony. After that the equipment was stacked on shelves and covered with tarps. Tuesday nights were traditionally band practice nights and this tradition continued on after their retirement. They continued to write songs and record demo’s. In early 2020 the World was afflicted with the dreaded Pandemic Covid 19. Band practices were put on hold promptly. The band members did not get to see each other for many months. During this time Steve Phillips health was deteriorating due to a terminal lung disease call Pulmonary Fibrosis. Tragically Steve lost a hard-fought battle in October 2020. Steve was the heart and soul of The Elders. He handled all the recording, the bookings, the flights, the Hotels and a million other duties it takes to manage and run a World touring band. He was also our dear brother. After his funeral and many tears, we reviewed all the songs we had written the previous year. We listened to the Demo’s. These songs were good! We all worked hard on these songs. Steve worked hard on these songs. He literally sang and played on some of them with his last dying breath. We have to record these songs. We have all experienced our fair share of tragedy these past couple of years. No matter what obstacles are put in front of us, we must keep going. Steve loved the term “Well All Right Then” The Elders
