We spoke with Eli about how he discovered his one man musical show while giving himself permission to show up and follow his JOY. After, he rediscovered his love for singing, leading him to create Out of the Blue, a show that's "infused with music and humor, a heart-warming and inspiring true story celebrating the resilience of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds."
After all, says Eli, a life well-lived — filled with love and miracles — is worth everything. Learn more at https://www.outoftheblueshow.com/
