"An epic instrumentalist - Au Review"

"Vulture Magazine on Ew - live"

‘A wonderful storyteller and soulful performer with a special ability to entice listeners into the present moment.’ - Vulture Magazine


"Eli Wolfe and Jeff Lang - Courtyard Concert Series - Rockford Winery, Barossa Valley"

Eli Wolfe began his performance by giving the lucky attendees a glimpse into his forthcoming EP due in early 2013, followed by the sublime single Cards Are On The Table.  Wolfe has an incredibly laid back and friendly persona and chats in-between songs and it’s hard not to be taken in by his easy going nature.  He treated the crowd to a number of tracks from his soon to be released EP including the stripped back performance of the first single We All Started Something. The new release is sure to be stunning if this show is any indication. 

She’s Like An Ocean was a gorgeous lullaby that floated through the warm breeze.  The sound at outdoor events can occasionally seem somewhat distant, but on this night the sound was crisp and clear and showcased Wolfe’s husky voice well.  Leave Your Light On and I Became the Winter were also featured and he definitely won over some new fans. - In The MOSH - South Australia
