ELDEST
THE ELDEST BOYS
ELDEST is a NYC-based indie folk-rock band formed by two friends who have been performing together since they were angsty teens.
It’s the kind of band you listen to when you’re wondering, “Should I text that girl? Should I just show up to her house with flowers?” and you want the answer to be YES. Childhood friends and certified yearners, ELDEST brings that same youthful angst into a more mature sound, with the band’s songwriter and lead vocalist at the helm alongside a multi-instrumentalist-producer. Together, they fully self-produce the band’s music.
The group released its self-titled debut album in January 2025 while touring as an opening act for established rock bands. In May 2026, they released “Soft Spoken Woman,” a collaboration with highly acclaimed Chicago blues guitarist Guy King. They have since begun releasing singles from their forthcoming album, including “Closer,” released in September 2026.
