Elijah Boone

Elijah Boone is an Appalachian artist pioneering his own brand of mountain music. He is completing his music degree and headed into the studio to record his first solo project. He says, "My career is a journey. To get where I want to be takes time and work. No shortcuts. I want to take all my experiences and influences and make music that reflects who I am and touches people." Elijah Boone (Elijah Boone Miller) was born in Nashville, TN to a musician father from Appalachia and a public-school teaching mother from Texas. His musical journey began at the age of six as a fiddler. A year later he was also strumming rhythm guitar and teaching himself to yodel. He was soon imitating his favorite old time country singers like Jimmy Rogers, Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Hank Williams.
