Based in Montague, “dark and irreverent” (Radio Nowhere) male/female harmony duo Austin & Elliott perform their "fun original take on folk" (CBS Boston's Best Songwriters) on stages around their native Northeast. "Witty and smart" (The Greenfield Recorder), Chris Elliott's original songs run the spectrum from genuine beauty to scathing irony. Chris plays a distinctive handmade Alan Carruth acoustic guitar, which he won in the WUMB-FM Boston Songwriting Contest. With Lisa Austin's bracing harmonies, bass, 6-string banjo, and powerful hand drum, their live shows are praised as "lively" (Recorder) and "memorable" (CBS Boston). According to Metronome Magazine, "their voices meld together perfectly." Come hear songs like “If It Ain’t Broke, Break It,” “Fat Man with a Flower,” “What a Woman Knows,” and “The Low Road (Just Got Lower.)”
