Artist of the Month - Eliot Popkin

Singer and Songwriter, Eliot Popkin began writing poetry and singing at age six. A musical scholar, both in the classroom and the studio, Eliot graduated from Berklee College of Music in three years with a Bachelor of Arts in Songwriting. It was inevitable that Eliot would pursue a career in music.

After a critically-acclaimed debut, Eliot Popkin took a few years off to write what will be his breakthrough album into the mainstream, entitled "Endless Ride." With a fine supporting cast including Grammy-nominated Producers (Juan Gabriel) and seasoned session and live players (James Taylor, Chaka Khan), Popkin delivers a fine 11-song collection of pop and acoustic rock gems. Popkin's expressive voice weaves through stories of relationships, family, childhood, spirit and life. From the infectious self-acceptance of “I Don’t Wanna”, to the societal plea of "A Little Bit More" to the heart-filled "You've Got Love", there isn't one misstep here.

While a secular artist, church audiences across the country have fell in love with this young man and his positive, spirit-filled vision. This is a fine balance of an artist taking some chances and stretching themselves, while still giving mainstream radio something memorable. The ride, will indeed be endless.
