From a band that revels in resurrecting themes and stories from eons ago, Elliott BROOD’s cover of “C’est L’Halloween” is a most fitting and welcome treat. The band has taken the memorable grade-school tune and added their distinct BROOD-yness. Dip into this spooky season classic when you’re bobbing for apples or selecting the biggest pillow case for your candy haul.
Elliott BROOD is a Canadian three-piece, alternative country band formed in 2002 in Toronto, consisting of Mark Sasso on lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and kazoo, Casey Laforet on guitar, lead vocals, backing vocals, bass pedals, keys, and ukulele, and Stephen Pitkin on percussion, sampler, and backing vocals. The band's style has been categorized as "death country", "frontier rock", or "revival music".
Elliott Brood has toured extensively throughout Canada as well as internationally. They have opened for acts including Wilco, War On Drugs, The Head and the Heart, Blue Rodeo, The Black Crowes, Corb Lund, Do Make Say Think, and The Sadies and They also headlined the first "Wood, Wires, and Whisky" tour across Canada in fall 2007, with The Acorn, Sunparlour Players, and Plants and Animals.

On Elliott BROOD’s seventh and latest album, Keeper, the trio deals with the past in more personal terms. The title, which speaks to loyalty and longevity, sets the tone for an album that explores the strength of conviction, and how that strength is tested, again and again, over time.
