Richard Elloyan
Acoustic Guitar, Vocals

I am a singer, songwriter, poet, and actually have a real job too. I am an environmental health specialist for the State of Nevada. Fancy way to say health inspector! I grew up in the small town of Virginia City, home of Bonanza fame. I have been writing in one form or another for the past 40 years. As soon as I stopped trying to write commercial tunes and started writing the stuff I liked my career has taken off. I have been playing all around the country these days, including Elko, Rhymers Rodeer in Gardnerville, NV, and will be at the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering as well. Just finished my second CD, called BIG NEVADA SKY. In October 2000 I opened for Ian Tyson and played a ton of corporate gigs through the end of the year. Busy, busy, busy. I have a wife, Sally, who tells everyone she is my chief financial officer, and I have two children, Kelly and Trisha.
