Bio

Building Down is the solo project of Nick Elliott, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer. Nick grew up in the Seattle area but now resides with his wife in Boise, Idaho. He started playing guitar at the age of 15. He has always had an interest, bordering on obsession, with music. At that time, he was a self-professed blues purist until he discovered the work of the band The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Listening to this band grew Nick’s interest in other genres and from there he expanded into listening to a wide range of genres which greatly impacted his playing. Since learning the guitar, Nick has added a wide range of instruments to his repertoire, including harmonica, lap steel, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, bass, piano, and synth. His work in Building Down includes a mix of rock, electronic, blues, and folk.
