Bo Elledge and Dusty Nichols aka Canyon Kids are harmony singers with a passion for songwriting. They follow in the vocal & folk tradition of sibling greats like the Everly or Avett Brothers. No, they aren’t brothers—or even related, but you could easily make the mistake of thinking so once they start to sing.
Collaborating for more than a decade across five albums and countless performances, they aren’t afraid to explore multiple genres. Nichols shreds a mean lead while Elledge strums on acoustic guitar and thumps the kick. If you come to see the Canyon Kids, expect rich harmonies, some killer twang, and a stomping good time.
A mountain resort town duo morphed into a seven piece band for 8yrs in Jackson,WY, but they now perform around Boise, ID and have recently added Josh Gilmore on Bass and Kevin Fitzpatrick on Drums. The bands third iteration will be performing and releasing new music in 2024!
Critically acclaimed acts they've shared the stage with include: Father John Misty, Lukas Nelson, Anderson East, Susto, White Denim, JJ Grey, Futurebirds, Hayes Carll, and The Infamous Stringdusters.
