Eliot Eidelman

All the pieces come together on Eliot Eidelman’s twelfth solo album, Add Me to Your Schedule. Sunbaked in ‘70s classic rock, glam and Americana, and served up with a thick scoop of ‘90s whack, the prolific Ojai-based outsider artist carries the torch of snarky, literate songwriters from Randy Newman to Ween into the twenty-first century and clearly has a lot of fun doing so. Culling from an archive of over 200 unreleased songs, Eliot and long-time co-producer Evan Backer (Wand, Cory Hanson) set out to record a collection of undeniable bangers as a follow-up to Eliot’s downer breakup album, in the pits. By merging the satirical and the heartfelt in his latest work, Eliot fully sets himself apart from a sea of self-serious indie singer-songwriters as an irreverent trickster, eager to push the boundaries of the form in search of ridiculous truths.
