Stop the presses...Eli has wrapped up the final touches on his new studio album, "Now the News," which is set to release March 27th. Joined by an amazing group of musicians, this album is Elis own unique insight into modern culture and will feature spoken word performance, live snippets and interludes, along with 10 great new songs. The concept of the album came from Elis personal collection of newspaper clippings in which he created lyrics to tell the story from the pictures he saw. The title of the album, which is also the title of the current single, comes from the commentary he has developed on how individuals base so much on how they live and what is truth on what they are told by news media. They allow others to tell them how to live, versus living for themselves - or allowing Christ to point the way on how to live.

Eli wants the listener to think about what truths they are getting from the word of God versus what truths they are getting from the world of media. And to truly contemplate in their lives the questions, do circumstances dictate your joy?

Giving his time to ministries and charities such as Cottage Cove, Compassion International, Union Rescue Mission, and Navajo Missions, Eli plans to keep on keeping it real.
