Artist bio
Eldraco + FreeNation is a high-energy Pop-Funk/Glam Soul band infused with Rock and Dance elements, led by award-winning artist and four-octave vocalist Eldraco. Known for electrifying performances and genre-bending artistry, the group moves seamlessly between deep-pocket grooves and soaring, soulful melodies.
Twice recognized by the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Competition—in 2020 for Mallori (I See U) and again in 2024 for Butterflies, a standout from their 2025 album Glitter—Eldraco has also shared the stage with the legendary Patti LaBelle in 2025.
Since 2021, the band has been a featured favorite in NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest, reaching finalist status in 2024. Their dynamic live shows have lit up stages from intimate clubs to massive festivals, including a crowd of over 17,000 at Music at the Intersection (2025) and 13,000 at the Whitaker Music Festival (2023). Other highlights include sold-out theatre shows at .Zack (2024) and The Grandel Theatre (2025), headlining appearances at the St. Louis Art Fair (2024) and Artica Fest (2020–2025), as well as performances at Festival of Nations, Tower Grove Pride, St. Charles Pride, Jazz at the Bistro, WERQ Fest, Sofar Sounds Chicago, and numerous venues across the Midwest.
At the heart of FreeNation is a powerhouse ensemble of some of the region’s finest musicians: Greg Dallas on lead guitar brings searing riffs and soulful textures; Ben Stitzel on keys lays down rich harmonic layers; Josh Last drives the groove on bass with precision and funk; Benjamin Shafer, a versatile woodwind specialist, adds warmth and depth; and Tim Moore anchors the sound with dynamic, intricate drumming. The band’s vocal lineup adds another dimension, with the soaring soprano of Kelly Beekman, the rich alto tones of Dannie Fuller, and the resonant tenor voice of Cam Burns—together creating a lush, diverse choral blend that lifts every performance.
Eldraco + FreeNation craft a soundscape that’s as bold and eclectic as their name, inviting audiences to dance, feel, and celebrate.
