Eli August @ The Way Station

The music of Eli August is akin to the waters of a great river. It's always moving and pushing forward, whether through percussive guitar and banjo, or the urgency of delicately crafted lyrics; the music never looks back. Eli is backed by an ever changing East Coast collective called The Abandoned Buildings, who bring rich and earthy orchestrations to the settings imagined in August’s songwriting, from the deep undulations of the ocean, to the quiet mystery of the forest and the openness of the dry and dusty road. Eli August & The Abandoned Buildings will have you tapping your foot, singing along and reminiscing of your own long ago journeys.
