Eli “Paperboy” Reed and the True Loves are a seven piece band that play their own unique take on downhome Rhythm & Blues and Soul music. Reed fronts the band playing guitar (sometimes harmonica) and singing in a stage show that is made up of originals reworkings of obscure R & B songs to fit the band’s idiosyncratic style. Every member of the band brings a different element to the
table; and traces of Country, Avante-Garde Jazz, Gospel and Delta Blues make for an energetic and unpredictable show. www.elipaperboyreed.com
