NEWS: Eli Paperboy Reed To Play Shows In Auckland & Wellington

Following an appearance at the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in Australia, Eli Paperboy Reed is bringing his explosive live show to Auckland & Wellington next month.

Eli Paperboy Reed is one of soul, blues, and gospel music’s brightest up-and-comers.  His work as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist has taken him around the world, winning fans and rave reviews every step of the way.  In recent times Eli Paperboy Reed has toured with Duffy, Guster, Franz Ferdinand and The Hives, as well as performing at world-class festivals such as Lollapalooza, The Falls Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Fuji Rock, Life is Good Festival and Voodoofest.

His journey has culminated in the release of Come and Get It on Capitol Records, his first major label release. The title track of the same name was a Top 20 single on US radio.

“’Come and Get It' combines soul-ratcheting spunk with 1960s-style ballads. At its core is an age-old R&B tradition: lyrics of love and being driven wild by women. When he hits stride, Reed unleashes raw sexual energy through deep-bellied hollers, explosive bursts from his band and auctioneer-like rapidity." - CNN

Come and Get It  is available in stores from the 18th of April through EMI Music NZ.
