“Despite his success and sense of history, Mr. Paul remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential in his music.” - The New York Times
Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It’s a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen all come to mind. Yet few songwriters can relate their own life to the life experienced by others who find that common bond — the exhilaration of the open road, the celebration of heroes, the coming of age, the hope for redemption, the sharing of love, intimate, passionate, and enduring — the way that Ellis Paul does.
Smart. Literate. Poetic. Singular. Storyteller. Folksinger. Yes, but Ellis Paul is far more. How much more? An incredible 30-year career. 15 Boston Music Awards. 20 albums. Newport Folk Festival. Carnegie Hall. Hundreds of venues from Alaska to Miami, Paris, and London. Dozens of compilations, commercials, documentaries, TV shows, and blockbuster movie soundtracks. He is one of the finest singer/songwriters of his generation — for many, the face of contemporary folk music — and probably no artist on the acoustic music scene is better loved by fans, or more respected by his contemporaries than Ellis Paul.
SECOND FRIDAY CONCERTS
Since 1985, we have presented acoustic music concerts on the second Friday of each month (excluding summer). We give 100% of our net proceeds to charity (with a focus on small, local social action-oriented charities — i.e., homelessness, food pantries, LGBTQ youth initiatives, etc.). Our volunteer staff strives to give our audiences a chance to experience a night of amazing music in an intimate, friendly setting. Tickets for individual shows can be purchased on Eventbrite . Season memberships are also available. We look forward to seeing you at a show.
