🚨 I am Elijah Zane - Bringing the soul of Austin Blues to the world, Elijah Zane has made it his mission to share the authentic Texas sound beyond city limits—and even beyond the U.S. Determined to take his music to the international stage, he set his sights on performing at a Blues festival overseas—and he made it happen.

Elijah has toured New Zealand twice, playing at the 2019 and 2022 Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues Festival in Paihia. To capture the raw energy of live Blues, he teamed up with local musicians who were not only talented but also passionate about the genre. The thrill of playing alongside “EZ, the kid from Austin, Texas” made for an unforgettable musical experience on both sides of the stage.

With a deep love for New Zealand and its music scene, Elijah plans to continue bringing the Austin Blues vibe to festivals and events, collaborating with local artists and keeping the Blues spirit alive. He’s also setting his sights on more U.S. and international Blues festivals, working to preserve and promote the genre on a global scale.

"We gotta do whatever we can to keep the Blues alive." – Elijah Zane
