Arizona State's Balladeer Dolan Ellis
The Coolidge Performing Arts Center is pleased to welcome Dolan Ellis as part of the 2015/2016 season!
Dolan Ellis has been Arizona's Official State Balladeer for 47
years, under the appointment of twelve Arizona Governors. While
exploring the little known corners of this state in his specially
equipped four wheel drive vehicles, and researching the legends
and historical events that he writes and sings about, he has logged
over a million Arizona miles on his Jeeps. He is also an expert
photographer, and uses his large screen photography (now digital)
to illustrate his Arizona ballads during many of his appearances.
Dolan is the founder of The Arizona Folklore Preserve in Ramsey
Canyon, which is now owned by the State of Arizona and The
University of Arizona South. The AFP is administrated by the The
Arizona Folklore Preserve Board of Directors.
As an original member of the famous folk singing group, The New
Christy Minstrels, Dolan has earned several gold records, as well
as earning a coveted Grammy Award while with that group.
Today, Dolan is currently touring nationally with the NCM, in
addition to fulfilling his busy performance schedule as "The
Balladeer". While with the NCM, he recently performed at the
Chautauqua Performing Arts Center in New York State, as well as
the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and B.B. King's in NYC.
As Arizona's Official State Balladeer, he has sung his ballads in
more than twenty countries of the world and he continues to tour
frequently with his one man "Arizona Experience" show. Dolan
Ellis and his work have been entered into the United States
Congressional Record, where he has been recognized as an
"Arizona Treasure", by Senator John McCain. After many years
of dedication to his work, Dolan Ellis and his music have become
synonymous with Arizona, its lands, and its people.
