Musician: freak folk
a stick and a stone weaves minimalist instrumentation, layered rhythms, and inventive string-plucked harmonies, always behind a persistent folk backbone. Most recognized for his dynamic and distinctive voice, songwriter elliott harvey sings stories of family, religion, and philadelphia, with raw lyrics described as brutally honest poetry.
After putting out a collection of live boot-leg recordings and homemade demos, a stick and a stone is currently working on producing a full-length album with Bill Moriarty (link to billmoriarty.com) of Dr. Dog Studio, which will be out by Halloween. He will be hitting the road soon with fellow transgender artist and troublemaker Adelaide Windsome for the Dysphoric Cyborg (link to dysphoriccyborgs.com) tour starting this Autumn.
a stick and a stone hopes to meet more fellow transgender musicians who wrestle with the decision of hormones because of the ways it changes their voice. According to elliott, “I’m excited to be a part of the trans-genre project as a source for connecting with so many different transgender artists. Visibility is crucial for our survival, and art is such a powerful tool to get our experiences out there. I am extremely grateful to A.J. and everyone else in trans-genre for all the work being done to help our community get our stories heard through our collective creativity.
