Element Variety Band (formerly "Element") was first formed by Michael Guthrie in 1997 originally as a variety rock cover band. With countless request for a wider variety of music we morphed the name and the look and the sound in the early years to form our current band. Almost any show you go to the always want a variety of music tempo, music style, of the feel of the music energetic and reality to heartfelt in slow some country some R&B a mix of dance and pop we tried to deliver that all. And we customize to each show.  Since 1997, many of the areas finest musicians have shared our stage and many attendees. We love inviting people from the crowd to sing with us or play an instrument or both. We perform as a Solo Acoustic Act, or a full band from 3 - 9+ piece,  which we "morph" as needed, with added professional musicians, vocalists and performers for weddings, festivals, events and concerts, according to your budget. With a fully customizable setlist and event plan per event, pro sound, lighting and production,  there's  something for everyone. We perform fun, variety song selections from the 50's thru current hits in most styles and genres.

I'm Nick Guthrie, a drummer from Omaha, Nebraska with a 3 year detour in the Army (North Carolina, and the sand pit with the 82nd Airborne), I was raised in the sounds of my Dad's band practices and countless live shows since as long as I can remember. I picked up drumming around seven years old and now bring my percussive passions to our band, EVB. My musical tastes are eclectic -  resonating with anything that touches my soul, from jazz to punk rock and everything in between and if it resonates with me then i listen to it regardless of genre. What sets me apart is my ability to feel and sync with the music effortlessly, even if it's entirely foreign. Beyond beats, I find joy in woodworking and building things, adding an extra layer to my artistic journey of creation.
