UNHCR spots with Khaled Hosseini	Posted: Jun 11, 2007
Elliot has recently provided music for 2 PSA's which can be seen on the web. The spots, produced by Wildlight Productions, feature Khaled Hosseini, author of the internationally best-selling novel "The Kite Runner", and who is now an envoy for the UN Refugee Agency. Earlier this year, Hosseini visited UNHCR camps in eastern Chad where some 240,000 refugees from Darfur are sheltered. The trip was the result of his desire to see first-hand one of UNHCR’s most complex operations and to bring wider attention to the Darfur crisis. You can see one of the spots at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rBEztz0YDg

Willow CD Available	Posted: Apr 24, 2006
Willow, a "neo-retro" rock band featuring Elliot on lead guitar, has a new CD available. The band recorded two of Elliot's songs, "Restless Love" and "Shine On Through" along with other original songs by its members. You can hear excerpts from all of the songs on the CD and order it at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/willowrock or from the i-Tunes music store website. You can hear 4 of the songs completely at http://www.myspace.com/willowcd A recently submitted review on the i-Tunes music store site says: "This is a great indie album by a relatively unknown group in the NYC area. The sound is very classic rock, a bit of fusion between various styles that is reminiscent of the Jefferson Airplane/Starship at their mid-70s peak. The songs by E. Sokolov in particular are catchy and easy on the ears... The production is very confident and lush, the songs are infectious, and the whole package leaves you eager to know more about this band."
