Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Eli Lev

Eli Lev promotes the vibe of his music and shows as sounding like “if Johnny Cash and Fleetwood Mac were on a road trip in the redwood forest with Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson in the back.”He’s been writing “silly songs” for as long as he can remember, joining bands in middle school and high school and even joining a cover band while living in the European country of Andorra (he’s also lived in Israel). In 2017, he received his master’s degree in Indiana for English education (he once took a job as an eighth-grade teacher in Arizona), and then moved back home to Maryland to reset.During this time, he took music more seriously as he started playing shows. These shows eventually spiraled into fans who asked about his next shows, which spiraled into recordings, which spiraled into more shows, which resulted in Lev’s decision to play fulltime. He loves to travel, as evidenced by the many places he’s lived in and traveled to (including Australia and New Zealand).Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner.
