In reality this, let's say eccentric, performer is a startling tour de force and his appearance at last week's LAWM event at Lancaster's Yorkshire House was one of the venue's most memorable to date.
Looking like an extra from a silent movie era western, Eller took to the stage with his songs of pigeon racing, civil war and Jesus and swiftly had the capacity audience in the palm of his hands and hanging on his every word.
An unquestionably accomplished player and singer, his lyrics however were the main focus of interest, weaving tales of beauty, wit and sadness in equal measure.
With varied support provided by Norway's Ragz, Manchester's Dan Melrose, and local acts Turnstone and Paddy Garrigan, the gig was yet another success for the LAWM organisers whose next event sees the highly inventive and much-heralded American artist Thomas Truax appearing on the Yorkshire House stage.
