Eli Bolin, whose music has become the stuff of cult legend, returns to Feinstein's/54 Below for the first time in 3 years with an action-packed show featuring songs from across his entire catalogue.

The evening is directed by Laura Pietropinto and produced by Erica Rotstein.

In addition to his collaborations with comedian John Mulaney on Original Cast Album: Co-op and ...the Sack Lunch Bunch, Eli is also co-writer of the musicals Found, Volleygirls, Skippyjon Jones and The Last Song of Eddie Scourge. You can listen to Bit Parade, the musical video game podcast he co-hosts with longtime friend and collaborator Mike Pettry, on your favorite podcatcher. Eli has written music for "Sesame Street" for over a decade, as well as "Animaniacs", "Difficult People" and the theme song for "Clifford the Big Red Dog" (no, not that one, the new one). He's the founding music director of Story Pirates and once pretended to play drums on "30 Rock."
