Eliot Rendleman is from Flint, Michigan. Besides learning to skateboard and play drums in Flint, Eliot learned at the University of Michigan—Flint how to be a writing tutor at a writing center that encouraged him to go on to graduate school and study composition theory. His father was a writing center coordinator in the 70s and 80s, and Eliot met his wife, McKenna, in the writing center of the University of Nevada, Reno. She was a coworker. ;) Writing centers have been pretty important to Eliot. Currently, he is the director the University Writing Center at Columbus State University, where he has been for the last five years. “Dixie Runnin’” is written and performed by Eliot and one of his best friends, Mark Petty. Mark is on vocals, and he is playing an acoustic guitar, with a distortion pedal, through a bass amp. Eliot is playing a simple 5-piece Mapex kit. Mark and Eliot grew up together in Flint and learned to play music in the Punk circuit. Through a series of fortunate events, they were lucky enough to relocate in Georgia with each of their families. “Dixie Runnin’” is both celebration and critique of their life in the south.
