About Eli Paperboy Reed

Listed Under Music Events / Nights Out Events

He will play a full band show at Glasgow’s Garage on Thursday 13th June.

Eli was one of the first of the new wave of singers and songwriters to embrace unabashedly soulful music and he has been tearing up stages all over the world with his heart-stopping falsetto screams for more than a decade with no plans to slow down.  From humble musical beginnings growing up outside of Boston, at 18 Reed moved to Clarksdale, Mississippi and cut his teeth playing and singing in juke joints all over the Delta.

Soon after returning to Boston, he was bit by the songwriting bug and released his first full length, “Roll with You” in 2008. Reed’s combination of powerful soulful vocals coupled with his strong pop sensibility as a songwriter made people all over the world stand up and take notice.  Soon there were calls coming in from everywhere; television shows in the UK, festivals in Australia, and a jaw-dropping schedule of national and international tour dates.

Now approaching the 15-year mark in his career and finishing up his 8th album, Reed has improbably become an elder statesman of the genre, and he’s begun seeing new artists who are taking inspiration from his unique sound. A sound that, over everything else, prizes feeling, energy, and, yes, Soul.

These are Eli’s first UK shows in 5 years, and helping to get the party started each night is ‘the King of North London Soul,’ Danny Toeman.   A dynamic performer with a powerful and evocative voice, Toeman has earned his reputation as a “Soul Funk Visionary” (The Evening Standard); supporting artists including Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, and Kool & the Gang, performing at many of the UK’s most famous venues, and having his releases played BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, and other national radio broadcasters across Europe.
