Sunday night’s show has been CANCELLED because Ellis could not get a flight in time for the other gigs on this tour. His agency is trying to work quickly to get a June tour planned. We will know that replacement date (likely Thursday June 12) very soon and will post it on the website and on Facebook.  PLEASE CONTACT US if you have tickets or reservations for this show so that we will know you have been reached.  Sorry- those damn vicissitudes.

ELLIS PAUL

“A singer songwriter is only as good as the times he reflects. In times like these, when so many nuts are running the show, it’s comforting to know that Ellis Paul is actually holding our sanity on his own stage! Wise, tender, brilliant and biting, Ellis is one of our best human compasses, marking in melodies and poems where we’ve been and where we might go if we so choose to. Personally Ellis, I’m goin’ where you’re goin’!” –Nora Guthrie (Woody Guthrie’s daughter)

Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting and one of the top songwriters to emerge out of the fertile Boston folk scene. He helped create a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk rock style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 90’s.

His charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today’s singer-songwriters – his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks – he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
