An astute storyteller, poetic and literate, with a stellar stage presence…

Ellis Paul is one of those gifted singer/songwriters. Though some may refer to him as a folk singer, he is more, for lack of a better word, a singular storyteller, a musician whose words reach out from inside and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people can relate to in one way or another, regardless of age or upbringing. The exhilaration of the open road. A celebration of heroes. The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. The sharing of love…, intimate, passionate and enduring.

“Despite his success and sense of history, [Ellis] remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential of his music.”
-The New York Times

“…one of the defining voices of American songwriting.”
-Direct Current

Accompanying Ellis on keyboards will the Radoslav Lorković.

Openng show will be locally based singer-songwriter Alice Peacock. Singer/songwriter and recording artist Alice Peacock has released seven albums as a major label and independent artist.  Her eponymously titled album Alice Peacock featured the hit “Bliss”, a duet with John Mayer. Many of Peacock’s songs have appeared in TV shows including Because of Winn Dixie, Men In Trees, The Ghost Whisperer, Pepper Dennis, What I Like About You, Dawson’s Creek and Smallville; feature films Because of Winn Dixie and Win A Date With Tad Hamilton and TV commercials such as Hershey’s product launch of Bliss chocolate.
 
In addition to touring extensively as a solo artist and with other artists including John Mellencamp, Aimee Mann, Toad The Wet Sprocket and Heart among others, Peacock has made many TV and radio stops including a special guest spot on the popular radio show A Prairie Home Companion.  Besides her musical pursuits, Alice is a socially conscious artist.  She is a former trustee of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (GRAMMYS), former board member of the Nashville Chapter as well as a past President of NARAS’ Midwest Chapter. As trustee she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee with Lyle Lovett on behalf of an artist performance rights for broadcast sound recordings.  She is also the founder of Rock For Reading, an Illinois non-profit organization, which raised awareness and resources for reading and literacy programs through high profile music concerts.
 
Alice released her latest album Minnesota in September of 2019.  Recorded in Nashville with producer Phil Madeira (Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, The Civil Wars) at the helm and a talented cast of musicians: Bryan Owings, Chris Donohue, Will Kimbrough, Derri Daugherty, Wayne Kirkpatrick, John Painter and James Hollihan weaving the musical tapestry behind her. Alice lives in Cincinnati with her husband, three children, their golden retriever and two cats.

    Ellis Paul

    Singer-Songwriter

    Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition
    and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of
    music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like the artists who have influenced
    him, everyone from Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly
    his greatest inspiration, Woody Guthrie, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and
    renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless. Born and raised in Maine, Paul
    attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city’s open
    mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition, he caught the ear of
    folk luminary Bill Morrissey, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a seven-
    album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album, Stories.

    His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me, Myself, and Irene; Shallow Hal, Hall Pass) and
    have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland, Kristian Bush, Jack Ingram). Through a
    steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant touring
    presence around the world, Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way, he has
    picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, 15 Boston
    Music Awards, An Honorary Doctorate from the University of Maine, the 2019 International Acoustic
    Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recently his album, The Storyteller’s Suitcase, was named the
    2019 NERFA Album of the Year.

    His new album “55” touches on the necessity of gratitude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided
    political stances on his own imprint, Rosella Records.
