Anchored by the honest songwriting and vocals of Elliott Booe, Onion Grass is brought to life by a talented group of collaborators who help shape the album’s organic, roots-driven sound. Booe is joined by Matt Middleton on drums, Robbie Anderson on bass, Max Woolery on electric guitar and Taylor Tuke on keys and additional guitar, with Oliver Pigott adding harmonica and background vocals that deepen the project’s textured, lived-in feel. Engineered and co-produced by Spencer Coats and mastered by Chris Bethea, the album balances warmth and clarity, while visual elements by Look_Listen_Lab round out a cohesive creative vision that reflects both authenticity and thoughtful craftsmanship.

The story behind Onion Grass began with an unexpected moment during the Muscle Shoals Songwriter Festival, when Elliott Booe found himself in a casual conversation with a stranger at a local coffee shop. What seemed like a fleeting exchange quickly turned into a spark of creative clarity, setting the course for a new chapter in his songwriting. That moment drew Booe back to Muscle Shoals the following year, this time with his band, the Impromptus, where the project took on a life of its own. Embracing the spontaneity that first inspired the music, Booe recorded the eight-song album live at the legendary FAME Studios, capturing an energy that feels both immediate and deeply rooted. Along the way, he discovered a renewed voice as a songwriter, crediting fellow writer Sydney Thompson for helping set in motion the series of events that ultimately brought Onion Grass to life.

Onion Grass ultimately became more than just a single. It now serves as the title track of Booe’s upcoming album, reflecting both the origin of the song and the journey that followed. one rooted in unexpected connections, creative collaboration and the timeless musical heritage of Muscle Shoals.
