John Reishman & Eli West Dec 12

Celebrating the history of Susan Osborne’s Christmas series.

John Reischman is one of the premier mandolinists of his generation, who writes compelling original tunes, many of which have become standards. A member of the groundbreaking Tony Rice Unit, Reischman’s mastery has brought him a global reputation as one of the finest mandolinists of his era. 

Eli West is an American Roots musician from the Pacific Northwest. A multi-instrumental creator of sonic spaces, Eli’s former training as a designer informs a sound that is lush and organic – neither manicured nor overgrown.
Lauded by Tim O’brien as a musician “making music the World needs,” Eli’s reputation as a crafter of considered, toneful environments has fostered collaborations with Bill Frisell, Andrew Marlin, John Reishchman, Julie Fowlis, and many other pillars of the growing Americana movement.
