Bio: Eli Conley is a Bay Area-based singer-songwriter with a voice that shifts deftly from country choirboy to soulful croon at the turn of a phrase.

Press

“Eli Conley is a folk singer/songbird whose lyrics and delivery conjure the spirit of Kerouac, move with the soul of Dylan, and land with the gravity of his profound personal experiences. Conley's EP "All The Livelong Day" is a storytelling masterpiece that travels from the coal mines and prisons of Virginia to tumbling hillsides of his youth. It's not just masterful stories about the people he's met along the way, it teaches everyone something about themselves.”

— Joshua Klipp, Jazz and R&B Artist

“Offering a rich, lively brand of neo-folk music, Eli Conley skillfully challenges beliefs and boundaries, whether they be personal or political.”

— Caren Armstrong, Singer/Songwriter

“Oh what gorgeous, soulful music! Wow--"Send Out Your Sentries" knocked me off my easy chair. Eli Conley has a beautiful way of expressing himself. His writing and singing are exquisite.”

— Laura Love, Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter

“It's impossible to listen to the music of Eli Conley and not be moved.”

— Joshua Klipp, Jazz and R&B Artist

“Eli Conley and Hip for Squares demonstrate a country-tinged folk style with pleasant vocal harmonies... Fans of Girlyman, a more established feminist band with gender-queer membership, also should like Conley’s trio.”

— Eugene Register-Guard

“Driven by well crafted tales ranging from the coal mines of Conley's Virginia roots to the radical streets of the Bay Area, the "All the Livelong Day" EP's unique style generates a tone that will resonate with every listener.”

— Caren Armstrong, Singer/Songwriter

“Eli Conley has a proposal: “Let’s crack up this geode they call boy and girl.” Conley’s song “Pinocchio” lays out his hope for a world that is less rigidly based on gender. In other songs, he writes about exploited workers, racial equity and other issues of social justice.”

— Eugene Register-Guard

“I love the song "Pinnocchio" and how killer the groove and harmonies are, as are the sentiments about "real boys" and "real girls". Also I found [the] gorgeous anthem, "We Will Rise" to be so moving. The lush tones and textures of the bridge really draw you in as do those great verses and chori.”

— Laura Love, Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter
