About
Elam McKnight is a singer/songwriter from West Tennessee. He is an artist firmly based in the roots of his region. McKnight has toured America, Europe and shared the stage with many legendary performers from the Roots/ Blues Genre, including Jonny Lang, Little Milton, BB King, and many others. McKnight is also a licensed educator with 22 years of educational experience and 32 years of practical experience with children. He has also worked directly with children in many settings before arriving at teaching, including children in custody, at risk through early intervention, and as an administrator in a mental health facility for children with dual diagnoses. This drives his desire to reach out to not only schools but under-served populations who truly need exposure to art. Currently, he is a Middle School Social Studies teacher and continually makes music an integral part of his classroom milieu and learning environment.
