Rising singer-songwriter Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery. The Maryland-based artist has just completed his epic Four Directions project which includes four EPs that were inspired by indigenous traditions he learned while teaching on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona.

His four part EP releases, All Roads East (2017) and Way out West (2018), Deep South (2019), and True North (2021) – imaginatively and intrepidly connect spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth. A cross between The Avett Brothers and The Lumineers, Lev has opened for both Shooter Jennings and Lee DeWyze, performed at The Kennedy Center and 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, and toured extensively around the world.

"One of the cooler things about Lev’s “four directions” cycle is the fact that each EP shows him exploring a slightly different sound. Raised on the East Coast, All Roads East indulges in his alt-country and Americana roots. Way Out West takes on more of an indie-folk element. Deep South, naturally, looks at the marriage between folk, rock and pop which illuminates so much classic American music. True North, fittingly, gives Lev space to show off his intimate, singer-songwriter side, which is evident on “I Wanna Tell You."
