Cahalen Morrison & Eli West
Cahalen Morrison & Eli West are a country-folk duo from Seattle. They are a new-old time group based in the city and known for drawing on alt-country, folk, bluegrass and country styles.
Background
Cahalen Morrison and Eli West come together as adults in Seattle after encouragement from bluegrass DJ and musician Kevin Brown. Their musical partnership develops over about six months, and they begin touring as a duo in spring 2010.
Recording and collaborators
Both artists also record solo albums alongside the duo work. Their 2010 album The Holy Coming of the Storm includes collaboration with mandolinist Matt Flinne. The recording takes place over three days at Aaron Youngberg’s Swingfingers studio and includes live tracking with Matt on mandolin, tenor guitar and bouzouki, Eric Thorin on bass, Ryan Drickey on fiddle, and Aaron Youngberg, who engineers the sessions and plays three-finger banjo on one track.
