We’re closing out the Live at The Wooden Handle summer series with rising Rockford songwriter Eli Parker.
Eli started writing during his senior year of high school and hasn’t slowed down—turning real emotions and big life changes into honest, melodic songs. His debut single, “If I Could Scream,” wrestles with the leap from high school to college and the uncertainty that follows, and he’s since been playing everywhere he can—solo and alongside Jacob “Jack” Dausman—in Rockford, Lake Geneva, Omaha, Byron, Woodstock, Fontana, and beyond. Expect a heartfelt set from a hometown artist on the rise.
