Singer and guitarist Elliot Easton was born Elliot Steinberg on
December 18, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. He attended the Berklee
College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Elliot joined the hugely
popular, successful, and innovative New Wave synth-pop band the Cars as
both a lead guitarist and backing vocalist in 1976 and remained a
member of the group until the Cars broke up in the late 80s. Easton
released the solo album "Change No Change" on the Elektra record label
in 1985. His later group Band of Angels recorded a self-titled album
which was never released. In 1998 Elliot played guitar on the songs
"Rumblin' Bass" and "One Way or Another" on the album "No Cats" by
bassist Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats fame. Easton was a member of the
roots rock group Creedence Clearwater Revisited and a revival version
of the Cars called the New Cars from 2006 to 2007. Moreover, Elliot has
also played with fellow Cars band member Ric Ocasek as a solo artist
and played guitar on the song "Angel To You (Devil To Me)" by the power
pop band the Click Five.
