Eli Conley
Eli Conley is a singer-songwriter, teaching artist, and activist based in Sacramento, California. He makes country-tinged folk music for queer and trans people, justice seekers, and anyone who doesn’t fit in a box. Conley's voice is tender and heartfelt, with songs that can leave you teary-eyed yet hopeful. As a queer transgender man from the South, his music tells stories that aren’t always reflected in roots music. Conley founded Queer Country West Coast, a regular series featuring LGBTQ+ blues, folk, and country artists in California. He has opened for Carsie Blanton, Heather Mae, and Grammy-winner Kimya Dawson, and been featured in Newsweek, NPR's All Things Considered, the HuffPost and the Advocate.
