About Andy Mann and Eli West
Award-winning National Geographic photographer, Andy Mann, combines his passions for storytelling and songwriting alongside multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Eli West. Drawing on folk music traditions, the duo weave in a delightfully warped, witty sense of storytelling in pursuit of their ultimate goal: take the audience on an adventure.
About Eli West
It’s always illuminating to ask an artist how they understand music, but Eli West’s perspective is nothing short of ground-breaking. A trained designer, he sees music architecturally, visualizing his compositions spatially. It’s a highly unusual way to think about music. As both a noted arranger, songwriter, performer, and composer, West has been crafting a Northwest-centric roots music aesthetic through earlier collaborations with Cahalen Morrison and John Reischman, and recordings with Bill Frisell and Dori Freeman.
About Martin Gilmore
With a diverse and extensive repertoire, Martin Gilmore’s soulful voice navigates a wide range of sounds with traditional and original songs. His easy-going style explores the depths of folk music with authentic reproductions, creative reimaginations, and unique original songs. His robust vocals, and impressive guitar work combine to bring color to new and old songs alike. Gilmore’s strong desire to let his authenticity blaze a trail leaves no doubt about his sincerity or artistry.
Martin Gilmore released his debut self-titled record in 2009 which was produced by Infamous Stringdusters bassist Travis Book. The record also featured members of FY5, Open Road, and Pete Wernick of Hot Rize. In 2017, Martin released his EP East-West also featuring Eslam Elabaty, which was recorded in Cairo, Egypt where Martin lived from 2015-2017. Martin’s 2021 release The Martin Gilmore Trio featured the talents of mandolinist Nick Amodeo and bassist Ian Haegele, who play regularly with Martin. The record also features Tim O’Brien, Courtney Hartman, and Mollie O’Brien. The Martin Gilmore trio have played all over the United States and Ireland, and were one of the official showcase groups at the International Bluegrass Music Associations World of Bluegrass conference in 2021.
