Eliza Neals has earned numerous accolades and awards for her self written and produced blues infused gems that are heard on SiriusXM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville since 2015. Eliza Neals skillfully creates blues, rock and soul melodies into unforgettable songs that are breaking the boundaries of post modern blues. Eliza’s talent with her three and a half octave mezzo-soprano voice has been recognized by everyone in the blues genre including the legend Mr. Buddy Guy. He recently invited her to open for him at his iconic Chicago club ‘Buddy Guy’s Legends’ in Jan 2025. Eliza Neals has also been invited by the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame icon, Mr. Joe Louis Walker, four times to the prestigious “Mustique Blues Festival” on aka Mick Jagger Island. Upon meeting Mick himself after her set, he said, “A voice I soon won’t forget, Great.”

​

Neals has brought a fresh and contemporary energy to the blues genre, infusing it with elements of rock, soul and a hard hitting Detroit sound. Being the last Motown trained singer by songwriting legend Mr. Barrett Strong, is a gift you have to hear live. Her dynamic stage presence and powerful voice have contributed to revitalizing traditional blues music, attracting a wider audience and garnering attention from listeners who may not typically gravitate towards the genre.

​

Eliza Neals has embraced new production techniques and experimented with different musical styles, adding a 21st century modern edge to her many recordings. Now with over thirteen studio albums not many have been this prolific in such a short time. Eliza also has collaborated with renowned musicians (Joe Louis Walker, Lance Lopez, Derick St. Holmes, King Solomon Hicks, etc.) successfully bridging the gap between the traditional blues sound and contemporary musical influences.

​

Eliza Neals has graced many a music festival stage from headlining to opening festivals with such a bang she is often invited back to do it again. Her impact on the genre extends beyond her beautiful image, and continues to be a driving force pushing for female representation. Eliza Neals has been a label owner since 2015 and many are now following her lead. As is an artist, producer, bandleader, singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, keyboardist and publisher, Eliza Neals is not to be missed live as her connection to the audience is out of this world.
