Eli Alger and The Faster Horses

Eli has opened for major acts like Randall King, Lorrie Morgan, Jesse Keith Whitley, Tyler Booth, and James Carothers (to name a few). When opening for Lorrie, Eli received a standing ovation from a packed venue of 1,500+ attendees.

In September 2021, Alger released his much-anticipated debut single "REDNEXICO" to country radio where it has since amassed over 180,000 streams and is being played on independent radio around the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Since "Rednexico's" release, Alger has gained recognition both in Nashville and around the U.S. It amongst other achievements has also earned Eli and his band FASTER HORSES a tour schedule consistent with fairs, festivals, rodeos, and big-name artist opening acts as well as interviews and spotlights on major news stations, podcasts, and talk shows.

Some of Eli's proudest moments thus far are when he performed the Star Spangled Banner at Madison Square Garden for a full house in New York City, when he performed at the Garth Brooks tailgate after-party at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln NE on August 14, 2021, where Alger played to a crowd of over 1,500 people and received another standing ovation, CROWD SURFING while performing just a duo show in front of 500 people in a 400 capacity Honky Tonk in Ames Iowa.

MOST recently, Eli and his band The Faster Horses took the stage in Lisbon, IA to perform at the fabled 100+-year-old Annual Festival known as Sauerkraut Days, breaking the long-standing attendance record. The Horses attracted such a crowd that people were parking over a mile away on the highway and trekking in just to see the show, where they sang every word to their original song "Rednexico".

In "Rednexico's" most recent happenings, the music video for the song dropped on July 4th of 2022, this is Eli's first official music video, and in his own words "If you asked me to sum myself up in a matter of 3 minutes I would show you this video, it shows everything I am both as a person and an artist... It is my best foot forward in showing the world exactly what I am capable of…”. - Eli Alger

The most recent addition to the catalog was the much anticipated single "Dollars On The Wall" Released in August 2023, a Honky-Tonk tune about Dollar Bars.

With thousands of shows under their belts, you can be sure that Eli Alger & The Faster Horses will put on a powerful, emotional, professional, choreographed, and most importantly ENTERTAINING performance whenever taking the stage.

“For me, there is no other way to play a show than like it’s your last, I don’t care if I’m playing a dive bar for tips or in front of 10,000 people. I’m always going to be in full character, dressed to the 9’s, and as energetic and interactive with the crowd as I possibly can, there is simply no other option. I would also like to think that I carry that mentality with me off the stage as well. It’s not just an act, it’s a lifestyle…”. - Eli Alger

“We are just a couple of Iowa boys trying to give Texas a run for it's money” - Eli Alger
