Sunniva w/ Eli & The Waltz, Grayson Moon

Eli Waltz is an Americana folksinger and songwriter, and bandleader of Eli & the Waltz. Eli incorporates a fingerpicking style modeled on folk legend Townes Van Zandt, and draws upon the vocal stylings of Ray Lamontagne, Rachael Price and John Lee Hooker. He was inspired early on by recordings of Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter. They and other blues giants influence Eli’s gruff yet dynamic singing voice—as well as his impassioned harmonica solos. For Eli, travel and music are inextricably linked. He cut his teeth busking in the streets of Medellin, Tel-Aviv, and Dali, China. And for a long spell, he lived and performed in Beijing. Eli Waltz now resides in Washington, D.C. 

His debut EP, “Burning Moonlight,” will be released in 2022. The group Eli & the Waltz performs regularly in the DMV, with upcoming tours around the country.
