When Spencer Elliott (Guitar, Lead and Backing Vocals) was 12, he started sneaking the guitar out of his older brother's room to play it in secret. When he was finally caught, his parents noticed his talent and drove him to a Music Go Round, where Spencer spent his lifesavings on a rip off Les Paul. Twelve years, a Gibson, and a college education later, Spencer has played in acts ranging in genre from jazz to R&B, gospel to country, blues to bluegrass, rock & roll to rock-a-billy. He was a sought-after musician in Boston for the four years, performing with Groove Alliance and Introduction - The Chicago Experience, before relocating to Ohio. He currently plays with several bands in the Cincinnati area, most notably Zack Attack, and, of course, I-TCE.
On Chicago: "Chicago always lingered in my peripheral, with those hits that stood out as tunes I would love to play but would never have the group to accomplish fully. They're simply one of rock's finest examples of impeccable musicianship, complex phrasing, and deep lyrics, all balanced perfectly in catchy, easy-to-listen-to songs. Oh yeah, and Terry Kath is a beast. I mean, holy $#*!, that guy's awesome."
