ELI KAHN is a guitarist, beat-maker, & improviser from South Bend, IN. After graduating from Indiana University of South Bend in 2010 with degrees in both classical guitar performance & music theory, he transitioned into the jazz world & discovered his love for improvisation. Performing for over 10 years with his original projects such as sobriquet, The B.E.A.T. & After Ours has helped him hone his craft with layers & composition. Through the use of looping, beat machines, & a custom 7-string hybrid guitar, he is able to paint landscapes with head-nod inducing rhythms, grooving bass lines & melodic guitar parts that blend together seamlessly
His debut album, "How Are You? No, Really...How Are You?" is a "master class in building soundscapes that feel emotionally lush. Kahn effortlessly leverages the album’s lo-fo influences to weave in nostalgia, comfort and lucidity, while often using that platform to flex his muscles as an instrumentalist. Each track feels like you’re jumping between little cinematic worlds — self-contained but vibrant. From start to finish, the inspired track list is beyond inviting and rewards multiple listens with its musical intentionality." - Nick Moran (WYCE, Grand Rapids, MI)
