Eli “Paperboy” Reed: Guitar, harmonica and vocals
Eli “Paperboy” Reed was born in 1983 in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up listening to the Blues, Gospel, Soul and Country music that his father would play at home, on records and on the guitar. At age 14, Reed, inspired by Sonny Boy Williamson II and Ray Charles, he began playing the harmonica and singing, soon teaching himself guitar and piano, as well. At 18, Reed decided to postpone college and move to Clarksdale, Mississippi to further the musical education he had begun. There he worked closely with the renowned blues drummer, Sam Carr and appeared regularly at such clubs as the Dew Drop Inn (Shelby, MS), Red’s Lounge (Clarksdale, MS) and other clubs in the north Delta.
Following nine months in the Delta, Reed made the classic trip north from Mississippi to Chicago, in his case enrolling at the University of Chicago. Taking advantage of its location on the city’s South Side, he played organ at the More Like Christ Christian Fellowship church, led by former soul singer the Rev. Mitty Collier, known for her hits with Chess Records in the 1960s. Playing in church, and meeting the expectations of a demanding congregation, complemented the education Reed had received in the juke joints of Mississippi.

¿Quién necesita una máquina del tiempo? ¡¡Me encaaaaanta este grupo!! Me hubiese gustado un montón haber podido vivir un poquito de los '60, y cada vez que suenan las canciones de "Roll with you" en mi cuarto aún parece posible. ¡¡Enhorabuena por lo que estáis haciendo!!
