Past Projects

In his solo work, Eric Elliott combines traditional acoustic instrumentation with a love of classic folk-rock to create a fresh and energetic style of mountain dulcimer music.

He has taught lessons at several folk music festivals and was named the 2019 Lone Star Mountain Dulcimer Champion!

He has released two solo albums, Parentheticals (an album) (2018) and Dots and Lines (2014), each with a different insight into Eric's view on life.

Jasper's Cast was a Folk Rock/Americana band out of San Antonio, TX. Combining bluegrass instrumentation (mountain dulcimer, mandolin, acoustic guitar) with electric amplification and influences from the music of Wilco, Jack White, and Led Zeppelin, the band created music that can't fit into a particular genre. Vocal harmonies, improvisational solos, and energetic live performances also defined the band's eclectic style. ​

Formed in 2009, Jasper's Cast released three studio albums, Jasper's Cast EP (2010), City Lights: How I Learned to Love the City (2011), and Blue Northern (2012). The band parted ways in 2013 to explore other projects.

King Minty Philosophers was a collaboration of three young musicians with three distinct styles of music: flamenco guitar, bluegrass mandolin, and modern jazz-influenced mountain dulcimer.

The short-lived project was captured in one full-length eponymous studio album recorded in Katy, TX in 2009 by local mountain dulcimer legend Quintin Stephens.
