The Entirely Honest Account of Eli & Ra

What is Eli & Ra? Well, you see, it’s more of a question of who is. It all started in August of 2004 when Elijah Ebenezer Wyman, a prolific and morbidly witty songwriter, married Rhonda Jenifer Dudek, a highly skilled metalsmith among other things. Like all great stories, theirs is full of superlatives, for any attendee can attest to the fact that their wedding was the hottest wedding that has ever and will ever take place. Sweat was mistaken for tears and tears were excused as sweat.

With the union of Eli & Ra, their powers and skills were combined into a seething, raging, magical beast of artistic energy. In the following years they opened and ran a gallery, set up festivals and DIY shows, released albums, toured the eastern seaboard, adopted a tailless cat, and got lost in the Rocky Mountains.

Today they continue living a great adventure life and this is part of it. This site is an outlet for the mostly whimsical (though sometimes useless) stuff that Elijah and Rhonda create. You will find music, and clothes, and journals, and maybe even stories. Whatever it is, rest assured that it is 100% handmade by Eli or Ra or Eli & Ra.
