Most recently he has been performing in the Twin Cities, including an appearance at a fundraiser for the Minnesota Orchestra auxiliary, WAMSO, where he opened for California based, Johnny Smith. On occasion, you may find him sitting in locally with his good friend Tim O’Brien, and his band, The Tim O’Brien Project.

Elvig’s music is a blend of Texas country blues, humor, love-gone-good songs, and well-seasoned ponderings. This is his second appearance at The Cedar and he will perform “Lyle Lovett’s Got My Hat” and “Ray Bonneville” from his upcoming CD.
