Eli Lev is an award-winning folk-pop singer-songwriter whose performances turn every stage into a meeting point of songs and stories. After three years teaching English on the Navajo Nation, the Silver Spring, Maryland native embarked on a worldwide touring career that has taken him to venues and festivals across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and nearly every U.S. state.
His songwriting has earned top honors, including a Washington Area Music Award for Way Out West (Best Country/Americana Album), the grand prize in the SAW Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Competition, a WAMMIE for Best Pop Artist, and a quarterly winner of the NERFA song competition.
Every Eli Lev concert is more than a set list. It is a shared experience of positivity and community where sing-alongs, heartfelt storytelling, and spontaneous audience interactions transform listeners into active collaborators. Whether he is inviting the crowd to add harmonies, share personal reflections, or join in call-and-response refrains, Eli builds a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and uplifted.
Eli’s catalog began with The Four Directions Project, a series of four EPs inspired by Navajo teachings, and continues with Past Lives, the newest album in his Three Worlds Project. By weaving archival recordings of his own ancestors into contemporary folk-pop arrangements, Past Lives invites audiences to reflect on the power of shared heritage and collective memory.
