Eli West performs a special late matinee concert at Founders Hall in East Blue Hill on Sunday, May 17 at 4:00 PM. Don’t miss this intimate performance of richly textured Americana.

A Pacific Northwest native, West is a multi-instrumentalist and creator of sonic spaces blending bluegrass, oldtime and country sounds. His music weaves together melody, rhythm, and lyrical storytelling into inviting environments that draw listeners in. West has collaborated with leading figures in contemporary Americana, including Bill Frisell, Andrew Marlin, John Reischman, and Julie Fowlis.

“West’s touch is light, nimble, and beautifully fluid, without a hard edge in sight, and whether he’s writing songs or instrumentals, the ideas are first-rate, combining the concision of old-time with the far-ranging improvisation of newgrass.” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Earlier in the day, West will also lead a workshop at 1:30 PM for those interested in a deeper musical experience. (separate ticket)
