Eli Conley has a country choirboy croon and a singer-songwriter’s sincerity. He crafts intricate Americana songs from the raw material of his life as a gay transgender man with Virginia roots. Eli returns to Wilmington on his annual East Coast Tour, accompanied by Joel Price on mandolin, fiddle and harmony vocals. Eli is a powerful live performer, armed with expressive fingerstyle guitar chops, a nimble tenor voice, and an ever-growing collection of songs. “Oh what gorgeous, soulful music!” raved accclaimed roots music innovator Laura Love, “Eli Conley’s writing and singing are exquisite.” For more info, see http://eliconley.com/

Although formed in North Carolina and labeled folk-rock, their music features a variety of influences including west coast rock, indie, blues, jazz, and of course, acoustic singer-songwriter folk and intense guitar laden rock ‘n’ roll.
