The roots of Cahalen Morrison & Eli West are strong, their branches are shady, and the guitars, banjos, mandolins, and harmonies will carry you far off the beaten path to a lucidly familiar place under vast open skies. The Triple Door asked Eli West a few questions to get a peek at one of the personalities behind a two-man-band whose sound twists and turns in humble yet unexpected ways.
