The Mandolins and Beer Podcast #268 Eli West

Episode Notes Did you know you can support my podcast for as little as $1 a month? You can do that by heading over to my Patreon HERE!!  My guest this week is Eli West. Eli West is an American Roots musician from the Pacific Northwest. A multi-instrumental creator of sonic spaces, Eli’s former training as a designer informs a sound that is lush and organic – neither manicured nor overgrown. Evergreen timbres weave among pitches, rhythms and lyrics to become comfortable rooms into which listeners are invited. Lauded by Tim O’brien as a musician “making music the World needs,” Eli’s reputation as a crafter of considered, toneful environments has fostered collaborations with Bill Frisell, Andrew Marlin, John Reishchman, Julie Fowlis, and many other pillars of the growing Americana movement.  Eli has a brand new album coming out July 11th called “The Shape of a Sway” which you can pre-order at this link HERE! Also be sure to follow Eli at his website where you can find out more about him.  Songs featured in this episode: “Red Prairie Dawn” by Cahalen Morrison & Eli West (Our Lady of the Tall Trees) “Ginny’s Little Longhorn” by Eli West (Tapered Point of Stone) “Our Lady of the Tall Trees” by Cahalen Morrison & Eli West (Our Lady of the Tall Trees) “The Lone Pilgrim” by Eli West (The Both) As Always a HUGE thank you to all of my sponsor’s that make this podcast possible each week!
