SHORT BIO

REVIEWS
“Eli presents conscientious lyrics that exhibit a bold honesty. Her vocals are at once softhearted and warm, yet understatedly fearless, self-assured under the skin. From the moment Eli sings, the room inside your awe-struck heart makes a space for her tender performance.”
We don’t want to spoil the fun too much for you, but we will say that “Another Day” is the textbook definition of a perfect song. Gauden’s masterpiece is unmatched in execution from concept to production.
“Eli’s vibe is not angry or bitter; instead she is reflective and self-aware, demonstrating an ability to tap into the raw, and sometimes hard to speak about, feelings of humanity with empathy and compassion; these complex feelings are in the hands of a skilled song-writer and intelligent lyricist who is an expert at her craft.”
“Honest writing from someone truly pursuing a life in music, who isn't knocked by the complexities of the journey, or is, but channels it into the music! What better way to share our struggles and stories.”
“Eli Gauden's latest tune, Homebound Travel, is folk perfection! We can't help but falling in love with the pure lyrical essence that this tune possesses. Our favorite aspect you ask? The truthful qualities that Eli Gauden holds in her performance. We can't get enough!.”
This is a folk ballad with modern sensibilities that fills all the nooks and cranies with musical nuance. In the end, “Another Day” triumphs with hope and strength.
‘Another Day’ is a relaxing coffee shop ballad, deserving a place in everyone’s favourite chill playlist.
"It was a pleasure to host her! She has been the less annoying and cleanest* guest I've ever welcomed to our venue! (*apart from her black guitar fingers )"
