Eli Catlin, one of the Pioneer Valley’s rising young talents, spent some time with me yesterday. Eli has played a myriad of local restaurants, farmer’s markets, and bars. He also has graced the stages of the Iron Horse and the Parlor Room. He will open the bill he shares with Hubby Jenkins this Saturday 11/17 at Greenfield’s Hawks and Reed Performance Center.

Eli brought along his National Resonator guitar to perform three new songs on Nine Volt Heart. I was very impressed by the guitar playing especially on the “too new to be named” instrumental in the middle of his set. Give the set a listen with the link above.
