Psychedelic Elders

It's a different world today, and we're a different band, a band full of memories. Our individual stories began in the Sixties and Seventies, when music was changing the world. The airwaves were filled with magic. Songs we could sing to because the words had meaning, and we knew them all. Songs we could rock to because the music was in our blood and the beat was like the rhythm of our hearts. While our idols were packing stadiums, we were packing basements playing in different bands together. Those glory days are the roots of Psychedelic Elders. No, We are not young anymore, but with age comes experience. Our individual stories have converged many times over the years and we all ended up friends, a family of Elders. We are not a cover band or tribute band. Our tribute to yesterday lies in the songs we write and perform today. Classic Rock all the way! Our fans range in age from their 20's to their 80's.

We are Psychedelic Elders! A blast from the past on the road to tomorrow!

The Saga of the Psychedelic Elders

Our story begins in the year 1969, when a relatively unknown quartet of young musicians called the Psychedelic Youth were poised to make their mark on the music world as an opening act at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival. As fate would have it, on the weekend before Woodstock, the band decided to take a three hour tour of the Caribbean Islands. Alas, our friends were caught in a vortex in the Bermuda Triangle and ended up in the lost city of Altlantis. As it turned out, the Atlanteans loved psychedelic music, especially artists like Donovan (who, it is rumored, may have actually been born there), so they came to love the music of our friends. The Psychedelic Youth became the house band for the citizens of Atlantis until recently, when they returned to our dimension. Although they were in Atlantis for only a year or two, approximately 45 years passed here. Having aged noticeably since they left, the band could no longer really be called the Psychedelic Youth, so they changed the name to The Psychedelic Elders and have returned to us to restore music to all of its former glory of the Sixties and beyond..

Ladies and gentleman, I give you The Psychedelic Elders!
