ELIOTT JANZ: Taking "Flight" to honor his friend and mentor, Dick Dale

01/23/24 • 44 min

Eliott Janz had one heck of a mentor. That's because his mentor was the legendary Dick Dale. Dick didn't just teach Eliott his picking method and his music, he taught Eliott about life. Due to a chance meeting between Dick and Eliott's dad, Trevor, at an aviation show in the early 90s, Eliott got to know and befriend one of the greatest guitarists in history. Now Eliott honors both men with his new single, "Flight," and six-plus years of living clean.
