I spent a considerable amount of time with Eli a few nights ago as he stopped by on his way out to California, and not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also extremely nice and humble as well. If you get the chance, go out and give Eli a warm SoCal welcome!

Unfortunately I don't live in SoCal to see Eli, but listened to his music and I'm glad for the shout.  You're right - incredible voice and a decent guitarist.
