SUMMARY:Ellis Paul in Concert and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs\; he’s a guitar-carryin
 g reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes\, loves\, 
 losses of those he observes\, turning their stories into luminous pieces o
 f music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like 
 the artists who have influenced him\, everyone from Joni Mitchell\, Bob Dy
 lan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greates
 t inspiration\, Woody Guthrie\, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences wi
 th social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely 
 as they are timeless. Born and raised in Maine\, Paul attended Boston Coll
 ege on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the cit
 y’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwr
 iter 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.\n\nHis songs 
 have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me\, Myself\, and Irene\; Shal
 low Hal\, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artist
 s (Sugarland\, Kristian Bush\, Jack Ingram). Through a steady succession o
 f albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant
  touring npresence around the world\, Paul’s audience has grown into a l
 oyal 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 20
 19 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recentl
 y his album\, The Storyteller’s Suitcase\, was named the 2019 NERFA Albu
 m of the Year.\n\nHis new album “55” touches on the necessity of grati
 tude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided\npolitical stances on 
 his own imprint\, Rosella Records.
