Eli Locke

Eli Locke is a California-raised, Nashville-rooted country artist known for traditional and contemporary honky-tonk with Bakersfield and classic-rock edges. The LA Times called him an appealing mixture of traditional and contemporary country with an amiable sense of irony; he has opened for Cody Johnson, Darryl Worley, and the Eli Young Band and released the Country 101 EP plus singles like In a Honkytonk and Where the Neon Knows My Name.

Austin fans know him from multi-hour San Jac Saloon bookings and Sixth Street request nights—mostly country, a little western—documented on Facebook and Instagram when he posts set times on the San Jac stage. His live identity is cowboy-hat frontman, acoustic guitar, and full-band barn-burner energy for writers rounds and bar floors alike.

HeyAustin catalogs Eli Locke so San Jac and traditional-country listings can match by name and inherit a full artist profile—bio, video, and imagery—when the calendar only prints the act and a start time.
