"Oh, my love, this is the beginning..."

It certainly is the beginning of a new chapter for Josh and Nicole Johnson as they collaborate their passion and raw talent to form Elenowen (pronounced "ellen-owen"). Hailing from Nashville, TN, Josh and Nicole pursued individual careers before forming the folk rock duo that sings of the struggles of everyday living including love, questioning, and hope. Their emphasis on heavy harmonies, raw acoustics, and ambient elements develop a unique sound that comes as an honest breath of fresh air in an overly manufactured music world.

Elenowen's current focus is their debut album entitled "Pulling Back the Veil," which features Josh and Nicole's organic artistry. The album is a collection of eight original songs, written both individually and collectively to paint the picture of the journey they have been on for the past year - a journey filled with joy and struggle, hope and frustration, honesty and deception, and light and darkness.

In forming Elenowen, Josh and Nicole felt called to not necessarily give answers or guide the listener, but to be as honest, real, and vulnerable as possible. One quick listen to their music provides enough evidence that Elenowen has a gift of moving past the surface and into the heart. The combination of Josh and Nicole's powerful melodies, smooth harmonies, and insightful lyrics distinguish this husband and wife duo from the magnitude of other aspiring artists. In an industry hungry for something fresh, raw, and beautiful, Elenowen meets the people's needs.
