Elijah Wise of Cosby, Tennessee began singing in local churches and small festivals at the age of five. As he grew his voice followed as he developed a unique style in his twangy country and western singing voice. In 2015, at the age of 20, he started learning to play acoustic guitar because he didn’t want to be a singer who didn’t play an instrument. This motivation came from his dad, who was a singer as well but never played an instrument. Elijah chose to take it a step further and go to East Tennessee State University to further his abilities as a singer and guitar player. Taking lessons from Bluegrass extraordinaire Wyatt Rice, who is a brother to bluegrass legend Tony Rice, he quickly started to make ground as a guitar player. Elijah now plays at all sorts of venues such as theaters, festivals, music halls, and honky-tonks all over the south. He displays an electric performance and stays true to his roots by playing traditional country music. Elijah says, “Bro Country will die out and history will repeat itself and people like us will start to crave traditional story-telling country music. When that happens, I want to be ready to step in and help in a much-needed restoration.” Elijah never disappoints and it would be a great investment of your time to catch him live, especially if you enjoy real heartfelt country music.
