Elie Massias Project Singer/Songwriter, Guitarist, Elie Massias, a native of Gibraltar, has performed extensively in Europe, North America, and Israel. A classically trained guitarist, Massias’ spare, beautiful arrangements of Israeli and melodies from his Sephardic heritage are performed with a jazz flair that is a cross between David Broza and Dave Matthews unplugged, with a strong flamenco flourish and flashes of hasidic soulfulness.
Elie won top 15 of the U.S. North East at the 2006 ‘Independent Music Worldseries’ and will be featured on discmakers ‘North East Heavy Hitters” compilation CD.
John Anders of DownBeat Magazine writes “Elie’s guitar textures and effects recall stylists as diverse as Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie and Bern Nix.”
Available for solo, duet and quartet performances.
