    Eli Cook, called "the best blues singer of his generation" by All Music Guide, performs an evening of solo acoustic vintage blues.

    From Charlottesville, Eli frequently opens for Blues Master B.B. King, and has performed at The Kennedy Center. Eli Cook was featured in the September 2007 issue of Guitar Player Magazine, and is counted no. 2 Blues Legend in the Making in the June 2008 Blues Special Edition of Guitar Edge Magazine. "Featuring fast-fingered guitar and a powerful voice beyond his years, Cook doesn't need any Robert-Johnson-style pact with the devil to take him to the top." (Matthew Hurst) His debut release of "Miss Blues'es Child" on Valley Entertainment’s Sledgehammer Blues Label in 2007 pays homage to traditional delta blues and heroes such as Mississippi John Hurt and Robert Johnson.
