About
The Eli Story is a power pop rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Their
respect for collaboration, love for melodic songwriting, and utter
lack of dignity make for a quirky rock formula that embodies their
mission to always take their music seriously but never themselves.
Each member brings to the table diverse influences and backgrounds resulting in a sound fueled with energy, drive, and catchy hooks. Lyrically, every song tells a unique story that can evoke laughter with one line and break a heart with the next.
These four ordinary guys, drummer, Mike Bruder, Bass player/lead vocalist/lyricist, Eddie Paul, guitarist/keyboardist/back-up vocalist, Michael Gouwens, and lead guitarist/back-up vocalist, Dylan Lower, feel lucky to have the opportunity to share their music with the world.
Since the spring of 2006, The Eli Story has been delivering an energetic live stage show filled with musical balance, tight harmonies, and a little humor for good measure. They are currently in the studio working on a new EP to be released in early 2012.

Eddie Paul
Super Power: Energy Manipulation
Description:
When not saving the world with his incredible
speed and agility, Eddie enjoys sipping gluten-free beer while taking
long walks off short piers. He is a clever lyricist, talented singer,
breathtaking bassist, and accomplished time traveler.
Dylan Lower
Super Power: Pyroblast
Description:
Dylan loves torching bad guys. He is also
a gifted guitarist, vibrant vocalist, brilliant bassist, and bewitching
banjo player. As the self-admitted crowd favorite, Dylan proves it's
possible to rock out and still look cool in a baseball hat and flip-flops.
Mike Bruder
Super Power: Kinetic Disruption
Description:
Mike has mastered the ability to absorb
and manipulate subatomic kinetic energy, which has allowed him
to rock out on the drums radically and tirelessly for the past
seventeen years. Beware his magnetic personality! It takes no
prisoners and may draw you into a conversation after a show.
Mike Gouwens
Super Power: Death Stare
Description:
Mike has been staring the enemy into oblivion
for eons. He has also been singing and playing piano since the womb,
and has been shredding the guitar for over fifteen years. He also does
an amazing Gollum impression.
