So Elated

“Our purpose is . . . to shape lives through songs that penetrate the heart.” –John Dudich, So Elated

Ben Thomas has been writing faithcentric music for years, with various musicians playing backup for him. In 2007 and 2008 Ben, John, Luke, and Matt were playing together consistently and seemed to be morphing into a band. Conveniently, Ben liked the idea of having band shirts rather than selling things with his own name on it.

Since the release of their self-titled album in January 2009, they have been busy touring and had their song “Viral (The Incapable Rival)” featured in Episode 4 of PBS’s Roadtrip Nation.

Tune in to past UTR episodes to hear the rich and poetic sound of So Elated. Be sure to check out episode #24 to hear UTR’s exclusive interview with So Elated and hear their in-studio performance of “Viral”.
