[EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] ELI CONLEY & STORM MIGUEL FLOREZ!


by JOSH on APRIL 26, 2012

StormMiguel Florez

I sat down with two of the Bay Area’s most talented and prolific trans folk music heroes, Eli Conley and StormMiguel Florez.  See Eli live at El Rio (San Francisco) on April 26, and StormMiguel on April 29 at Second Story Arts Collective (Sacramento)!

So, how would you guys describe your music to our readers in 3 words?

Eli Conley:  Soulful, melodic Americana.

StormMiguel Florez: Acoustic, Moody, Twangy.

Beautiful!  And what inspires you to be artists? 

EC:  I’m inspired by my friend, feminist singer-songwriter Talia Cooper, who says that artists aren’t “special”, we all have the capacity to be deeply creative. Artists are just folks who choose to prioritize and follow creativity. When I think of it that way, I pay attention in my day to day life, recognizing that songwriting inspiration can strike anytime. The trick is to allow myself to drop into what I’m doing and follow that path to see where it takes me, something I’ve done a lot more of since allowing myself to claim the title “artist.”
