Eli Lieb's Concert at Renberg Theatre to Benefit LA LGBT Center, Today

The Los Angeles LGBT Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center has announced Eli Lieb In Concert, a special one-night-only benefit event at the Center's plush and intimate Renberg Theatre on Saturday, February 28, at 8pm. The show will be a rare "unplugged appearance" featuring just Lieb and his acoustic guitar.

Eli Lieb began burning up YouTube with brilliant covers of such popular songs as "Wrecking Ball," "Young and Beautiful," "Mirrors," "Stay," and "Skyfall." Since then the openly gay musician has released the acclaimed self-penned singles "Young Love" (which has received three million YouTube views), his first solo album Eli Lieb, and most recently his single, "Lightning in a Bottle." He resides in Los Angeles, where he is completing his second album. Since his arrival in LA in 2013 Lieb has collaborated with artists such as Adam Lambert, Cheyenne Jackson, and Crystal Bowersox.

Due to his growing popularity, Lieb was approached by the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency to write an original song for Allstate Insurance's #OutHoldingHands campaign. Lieb wrote "Safe in My Hands," which accompanied an animated short film by the same name, which was released in June 2014 and has become an anthem for the LGBT community. Another recent hit song, "Zeppelin," garnered the attention of ABC Family producers, who featured it as the closing song for the second season finale of the network's The Fosters. "Zeppelin" will be used in an upcoming episode of The Fosters as well. For more, visit www.elilieb.com.
