Eldon grew up & started playing guitar at age 18 in Brandon, South Dakota. He proceeded to assemble various bands throughout college at Mankato State University.
After graduating with a marketing/management degree, he toured & played throughout the country in several dance/variety bands until he came back to Sioux Falls and joined the re-forming Wakefield in 1987.
Crash Alley was born a few years later & Eldon toured full-time and started to develop his chops in earnest with this project. He won the honor of “Most Improved Player” at a local music store during this period.
After a brush with Atlantic Records & a few other major labels, Eldon retired from the road in 1996. He continued with several part-time bands including the award-winning original project, Jerkstore, a Disco Tribute act called The Glory Holes, and an original project named Goodroad. In 2000, Eldon became a founding member of the Jukebox Zeroes, which recently released a double disc & who continue to play club dates throughout the area. In 2009, Eldon was asked to join an existing rhythm section that soon developed into a 3-piece band called Ramrod Hamster which continues to play clubs throughout the area also.
