Eli ConleyEli Conley is an indie folk/country singer-songwriter, teaching artist, and activist based in Sacramento, California. He makes music for queer and trans folks, justice seekers, and anyone who doesn’t fit easily in a box. Eli’s voice is tender and heartfelt, with melodies and that can leave you feeling teary-eyed yet hopeful. As a gay transgender man from the South, his songs tell stories that aren’t always reflected in roots music. Eli founded Queer Country West Coast, a regular series featuring LGBTQ+ blues, folk, and country artists in California. He has opened for Carsie Blanton, Heather Mae, and Grammy-winner Kimya Dawson, and been featured in Newsweek, the Huffington Post and The Advocate.
Eli’s third album Searching for What’s True was released in summer 2023. Themes of uncertainty, ache, and loss come up again and again on this record, yet light always shines just behind the clouds. The songs are drawn from the concrete and immediate details of daily life: a stuffed animal clutched in a child’s arms, a colorful sunset after a forest fire, a confederate statue toppling to the ground. The result is a testament to the power of the creative spirit. At times it’s hushed and intimate, at others soaring and dramatic. At the heart of Searching for What’s True is Eli’s singular voice, urging us to stay open to our grief and our joy.
He will be joined for this show by frequent collaborator Joel Price on mandolin, violin, and backing vocals.
