Elijah Blake Vanecek hails from two small towns in Oregon - Estacada and Willamina. From a tender age, he was drawn to percussion and singing, and at six years old, he picked up his first pair of drumsticks. By the time he was ten, he had taught himself to play the guitar, and at twelve, he added singing to his repertoire. 

Elijah's musical influences are diverse, ranging from 90s grunge rock to old outlaw country music, and everything in between. He draws inspiration from legendary artists such as Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Buckley. 

Now 25 years old, Elijah has already performed over 100+ shows and recorded with various artists and producers across the country. His unique sound combines emotional, raw, and matured vocals with skillful acoustic picking and true-to-life storytelling. His performances have earned him a loyal following among local musicians and fans in the Pacific Northwest. 

Elijah's band, "The Lower Falls," and his solo project continue to captivate audiences with their soulful and authentic sound. He is constantly writing, recording, and seeking new opportunities to perform and create. With his talent and dedication, Elijah is poised to make a significant contribution to the songwriting world and to the scenes he is a part of.

The Hare And The Moon existed between 2009 and early 2017. They are now as ghosts.

Yes, I love Music. I grew up in a small town here in Oregon and things were weird for us odd music lovers. Well now I'm older and i live in Hillsboro, Oregon where musical freedom is allowed to be documented! These are my current findings.
