BIO 

A young man with an ageless soul, Eli embarked on his career while still in his teens. Citing such influences as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Old Crow Medicine Show and John Hartford, he’s a gifted multi-instrumentalist, adept at guitar, pedal steel, banjo and of course, an expressive singing voice that conveys both passion and purpose. Humble to a fault, he draws on a decided reverence for tradition while still tapping into a sound that’s timeless and, in fact, relevant to today’s circumstances and environs.
