Join us Saturday, June 21st at The Cidery Stage during the Summer Strings Music Festival on Red Apple Farm in Phillipston, MA for an afternoon of live music with Eli Elkus performing from 2-4! Eli Elkus is a Musical Storyteller, SongCraftsman, and Folk Activist currently residing in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. He began sculpting his craft as a young troubadour fishin' for songs by the riversides and busking in the streets of New England. It was here the love of folk music and storytelling found him, connecting with perfect strangers through meter, melody, and merit-making story and song. Music for the people, by the people. No frills and no show business. And so it goes. The ramblin’ folk singer plays and tells for multigenerational audiences across the USA and beyond, freewheelin’ in his road sweet home 'JeBus' with his trusty hound Bronco. His performances draw upon a vast repertoire of original songs and stories from his travels and rekindlings of Old Timey Americana, Folk & Blues songs dating back to the early 1900s. The songs tell tales of humanity and treasures of the natural world. Recent works have been in cahoots with his partner in life and songcrafting Lara Wahl, including their first album together, Postcards From Heaven, and short musical film, "Lazy-Eyed Dreamer". Get the know about all things singin', pickin', & storytelling and sign up for the "Lazy-Eyed Newsletter" by visiting his website or emailing him at elielkus@gmail.com elielkus.com/ youtube.com/user/elielkus
