Singer - songwriter Billy Eli writes songs about real stuff. He learned his chops - and how to duck flying beer bottles and bar stools - in the honky tonks and dives of east Texas. He now makes the rounds of music venues and listening rooms from California to New England. His stories are colored by the sounds of Rickenbackers, Telly's, dobro and pedal steel. His voice breaks and soars in all the right places. Moving through life is his way and his songs tell the tale.
“Billy Eli focuses on life as it’s been dealt, the people he has known rather than simply material things. ” John Apice, Americana Highways

Billy Eli's album Lace is #12 on the alt-country radio chart this week. After 8 weeks so far on the chart, it's still rising.
If you haven't heard this gorgeous music yet, take a listen to Trying Not to Drown, track #1 on the album. As with all of Billy's songs, when you hear it you'll feel like he's talking about your own experience. But for him, he says about writing it “The catalyst for this was the beginning of the lockdown, when businesses were still trying to figure out how to survive and what that looks like. No one had a map, we were all just trying not to drown as best we could.”
