Ellis Paul

Today Ellis Paul treats audiences to two sides of his craft. In the afternoon he'll perform a special concert for children featuring songs from Dragonfly Races, his first family album and an NPR Top Ten pick. It bubbles with buoyant, hummable songs that appeal to kids and parents and incites good conversation between them. //
Ellis re-takes the stage in the evening with a concert for his adult fans. As one of the principle leaders in the 1990s Boston folk scene, Ellis Paul's charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists and bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
His latest album, The Day After Everything Changed, released in the winter of 2010 is his 15th studio album. In the words of Roberta Schwartz of FAME, "In The Day After Everything Changed he has done the one thing all artists yearn to accomplish. He has told our universal story, and has revealed our universal truths. And he has done so in a masterwork filled with the best music and lyrics of his career. Ellis Paul gives us hope, gives us a reason to dream and to love. His music is the soundtrack of our lives.
