Elijah Black brings a sense of melody to the table that is tasteful and demanding. He is one of the elite vocalists in our hometown of Akron and we consider him to be the key ingredient to the standard of future “Akronite” vocalists. Although the band is a seasoned well composed band, his voice is what sets them apart from their competition. Power, range, control and diction. It’s all there.
-Akron Jillians Live Review 

Elijah’s brilliant solo attempt, released May 2004, is the strongest to date of any release. This 10 song album illustrates the songwriting diversity and growth of a devoted artist. “  It’sevident  Elijah  is not looking back. Each song is so well crafted, that Elijah’s  voice and guitars are shrouded in beautiful melodies that unify the artist and his song.” His lyrics make his music universal. His compassion comes out in every note he sings and every chord he strums . . . Scene Magazine.”

Elijah Black has done opening stints for Motley Crue, Styx, Neil Young, Cinderella, Deep Purple, Dream Theatre, Nazareth, Blue Oyster Cult, Ratt, Jackyl and more.
