Ellis Paul Concert Tickets

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey, January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His folk-pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, and are said to bridge the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

Ellis Paul Reviews

From the stock of Maine potato farmers, Ellis Paul moved to Boston, studied music, connected with the roots of the folk genre, then proceeded to develop a signature singer/songwriter sound that now incorporates pop, rock and contemporary sensibilities. Ellis Paul's wise perceptiveness and charisma have built him a strong fan base...

On his first studio album in five years sometimes-cloying-sometimes-brilliant pop-folk troubadour Ellis Paul does what he always does: reaches for the emotional stars -- missing a few and snatching a few. You have to admire his ambition and fearlessness, even though it's that fearlessness that allows him to taint a fantastic opening line like "She fell to the mattress with the grace of an actress," a few verses later with the mood-wrecking, "She smiled like the Mona Lisa...

It was apparently with some embarrassment that Ellis Paul finally reissued his 1989 debut album, Urban Folk Songs, in the fall of 2000. The album had previously been available only on cassette, and the few die hard fans who managed to score one of the elusive extant copies were beginning to wear out the tape. But when he finally released a CD edition it was only available through his website and not through Rounder Records, the label that had carried his albums for almost a decade...

Slapping to life on a hard snare head, the album is introduced by the lyrically cynical bewailing of city life "Midnight Strikes Too Soon." City lights illuminate the first few rides in the carnival, from the mellow "Midnight" to the tuneful travel log "Paris in a Day" (featuring backing by Patty Griffin and the clever musical question "What would Marcel Marceau say?") to the MBTA-inspired whispered reminiscence "Trolley Car...

Ellis Paul came late to folk music. It wasn't until late in his college years that he first began to play the guitar. But when he arrived, he brought a powerful and distinctive tenor voice, a keen ear for melody, and a penetrating eye for detail that earned him instant attention in Boston's increasingly folk-saturated music scene. Paul's second album, Am I Home, was recorded when the singer was only 24...

Thanks to a number of releases on Philo (starting in the 1990s), Ellis Paul has earned a rep for his literate songs and distinctive high-end vocals. On American Jukebox Fables Paul brings these gifts to bear on the American landscape in the post-millennium, post-9/11 world. Perhaps the first thing one will notice is the big production, one that includes everything from acoustic and electric guitars to bass, drums, mandolins, and background vocals...

During an uncharacteristically long four-year period between major-studio releases, Ellis Paul quietly offered this web-sales-only assortment of new recordings to his patient fan base. "This is not a concept album," he warned in the liner notes, "This is a collection of demos, ideas, experiments...with noises and choices that might not survive onto a label album...

Ellis Paul probably gets compared a lot to Bob Dylan for the sound of his voice and the tone of his songs, but the comparisons really should cease there -- Paul takes his sound off in his own direction more often than not, and the songs have characters of their own that are far from Dylan...
