“Eli Cook came out of nowhere and exploded onto the stage at Springing the Blues. His performance aura was intense and fiery in a way that has only been seen before in the likes of the late John Campbell and Luther Allison. His deep throated, gutteral vocals were as genuine and provocative as a howling wind on a dark stormy night at the crossroads. Eli is certainly no poser…he is the real deal. We are very fortunate to have him back with his band for a return engagement this year. He was the highest scoring performer and most requested returnee by our premium seating patrons. Springing the Blues has been the launching pad for many artists who have gone on to great acclaim including, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Michael Burks, and The North Mississippi Allstars…we fully expect Eli Cook to join them.”
– Sam Veal, Springing the Blues, Jacksonville Bch., Fl
“The raucous foot-stomping, and the roar of our audience’s standing ovation at the end of the night told us Eli Cook was the perfect headliner for the blues festival at our performing arts center. There is a reason why the whispers about Eli Cook’s prowess, style, and skill as a blues rock guitarist are getting real loud. He can flat out play. Plus, Eli’s a gem to work with and a real gentleman to boot.”

"Having a workshop and concert on the same day
is no easy task, yet Eli did it effortlessly. Eli's teaching style was not only very educational, he also provided 'one-on-one' sessions, ensuring every student had improved skill. At no point was the session rushed
nor any of the students marginalized. The extremely positive response from the students has us convinced to offer this event again."
"During the concert Eli connected with the crowd, was entertaining and charming in spite of imperfect
conditions. The synergy between the musician
and fans was evident. Eli's patience, humor, and passion for music make him such an ease to work
with, we are looking forward to hosting him for
many years to come."
