On the wave of a successful 25 show tour from Broome to Margaret River last Spring, artist and musician, Eli Wolfe, is back on the road visiting remote and rural communities across Australia.
The new album is based on Eli's well-timbered vocal melodies and hypnotic acoustic sound. Traditional drums, bass and electric guitars were deliberately not used in his latest album, instead Eli had fun discovering percussive sounds and textures from the likes of a washing machine, a marching drum and from playing cement rendered walls, with a foot-stomp also called upon to help with rhythm duties.
Adding to Eli's detailed sound is double bass, cello, piano and an old organ which doubled as a bass by using its clunky foot pedals. With a brand new single, an upcoming album and a stack of shows, the Maton-endorsed guitarist has quite a journey ahead of him.
You can catch Eli Wolfe at a live show where you can pick up a special pre-release version of the single and album and enjoy some inspired music!
