Eliah and his unique brand of Music





Discover music that takes you on a journey from ambiant and relaxing

to trancey and psychedelic, to funky and groovey.


Experience a completely new sound with international recording artist Eliah as he uses a touch tapping technique to play a unique type of guitar called the Chapman Stick, and to play his 6-string and 7-string guitars, and 6-string bass.

Touch tapping allows Eliah to play the bass with one hand, and melody with the other hand. He has also developed his own techniques to create all new sounds, never before heard on any guitar. Eliah is creating brand new genres with his music!

ABOUT ELIAH

Eliah was born in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood on April 5, 1971. His father Terry was by then a seasoned drummer, and Eliah grew up hanging out at weekly jam sessions. By 11 years old, Eliah was taking regular guitar lessons and jamming with his dad's band. At 16, Eliah decided he wanted to pursue music full time, and just 4 years later, he had a professional career as lead guitarist in touring bands. Some years later, Eliah discovered the Chapman Stick, and began his solo career.

Eliah toured as lead guitarist with several successful Colorado bands, including The Moondogs and King Daffodils. His bands opened up for artists Jimmy Cliff, Blues Travellers, Cheryl Crow, Kinsey Report, Derek Trucks, Leon Russell, Robben Ford and Little Feat. Eliah currently tours the world playing his Chapman Stick as a solo musician.

Eliah has recorded and gigged with John Oates, performed Stick and Guitar on a remix of "Love Don't Love Me Back," by Eric Burnett, and worked on guitar tracks with Miami producer Lewis Martinee (Debbie Gibson, Orson Whitfield).

Eliah has played his Stick at major festivals such as the Colorado Mountain Fair and Telluride Blues Festival. He made an impromptu street-side appearance outside of the Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts in 2000. He has also performed on International TV in England (watch video).


"I use Crate TX50 Limos for my street performances. These amps are completely portable, light weight, sound great, and run on long-lasting, rechargeable batteries. I dig that these amps have two channels and built in effects like delay, chorus and reverb. They run at 50 watts and I've pushed them really hard. For the street, I like to pair two together to have a 100 watts bass rig, and use a third amp for the melody side of my Stick. The Limos can be kind of fragile (be mindful to not bump the knobs), but there's nothing quite like them, and I've taken them all over the world with me."


Check out Crate's website at:

www.crateamps.com


"I use the Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler, and MM4 Modulation Modeler. Using these with the expression pedals, I can get some pretty awesome sounding tones! On my Sticky Funk album, all of the delays, backward guitar sounds, trippy loops, tremelo and other pitch changes effects, were done with these pedals. Even though these pedals are digital, they have a real analogue sound and feel to them. Cool!"

Exposure to the Dublin Fringe Festival can seriously improve your social life! Failure to comply with the following recommendations will result in a severe lacklustre September and a possible mild depression.

Before:
Build your stamina, Get festival fit. Study the programme and schedule your plan of attack with militaristic precision. Hype your friends. Feel that buzz! Stock up on vitamins, Ginseng and Green tea.

During:
Week 1 – Hit the ground running. Be the trendsetter and see the shows first… Make a minimum of 3 Spiegeltent appearances, at least one of which must entail delirious dancing, a (re)kindling romance or a glorious reunion.

Week 2 – No flagging. Steal yourself goddammit! You cannot crack under the pressure! There are just too many good shows to be missed!

Admit it. You are a Fringe junkie, a Spiegeltent slave to the rhythm. Cement that love affair. Embrace new friends, new work and new dance moves. Regrette rien.

After:
Coming soon..How to survive the Post–Fringe Blues and the 12 Steps to Fringe 2008!

 

The Hop House: We're loving this new restaurant on Parnell St (close to the Cobalt Cafe, T36 and The James Joyce Centre) so much that we've stopped going anywhere else for lunch recently. Try the kimchi and the sushi and wash it down with one of the selected Asian beers in the fab beer garden before feeding your Fringe hunger.

The South William: We love everything about this place - the beers, the comfy couches, the best people watching spot in Dublin right outside and, most of all, the tastiest pies you're likely to find in Dublin - grab one before heading down to the International Bar to catch a show.

The Italian Quarter: There's a rake of Fringe venues within 5 minutes walk from any one of the restaurants and cafes on this slice of Italy on the north quays. We can't pick a favourite because its too hard: they're all worth a visit, especially if its sunny and you can grab one of the outside tables for some al fresco pre-Fringe dining.

Cafe Topolis: Everyone loves an early bird and this pizzeria on Parliament St offers great value and super good food. It's right around the corner from Smock Alley, SS Michael & John and right down from Dublin Castle, so you won't have far to go once you've finished your dessert.

The Lincoln Inn: We stumbled into this place on our way back from the Samuel Beckett centre one night and keep going back. Having been closed for years, the old Trinity stalwart is back and there's no better place to watch Dublin go by than on a chair by the huge bay windows.

 

Iveagh Gardens: How this beautiful garden isn't choc-a-bloc all day we'll never understand. The rose garden, the fountains, the waterfall and the sunken green: all lovely by themselves, but together they make for Dublin's finest, understated, elegant park.

Parnell St: The street ain't hidden, but its full of hidden gems. From Korean barbeques to chinese karaoke bars, sushi to go and Asahi to stay, you'll find bargains and authentic food on every block.

Temple Bar West: Its the sober end of Dublin's cultural quarter, packed with small venues like Smock Alley and SS Michael and John, cool design shops and cosy eateries. The streets might be cobble stoned, but this is far removed from the tourist trap of the Temple Bar we all know.

The Dice Bar: We've always been a fan of this rocker bar, which is right across from thisisnotashop. Its full on, rocker central and has one of the best jukeboxes in Dublin.

Mulligans: As you head down towards the Spiegeltent, stop into Mulligans on Poolbeg St for one of the best pints of Guinness in Dublin. Its an institution at this point, and is the perfect place to down a sneaky one before dancing your night away in George's Dock.

 

We've chosen the best hostels in town to reccommend to you for your stay in Dublin. They're cheap and cheerful and are the perfect place to collapse at the end of a long hard day of Fringing.

Avalon House: 55 Aungier St

Kinlay House: 2-12 Lord Edward Street

Barnacles Temple Bar House: 19 Temple Lane

Four Courts Hostel: 15-17 Merchant's Quay

Abraham House: 82-83 Lower Gardiner Street

The Grafton House: 26-27 Sth Great George’s Street

 

Look out for this year's brochure (it's so big, you won't be able to miss it!) in all of our venues and the coolest cafes, bars, restaurants and shops around town. It's big, its bold, its pink and yellow... and it will be indispensible during the manic two weeks of Fringe Festival fun!
