Ellis Paul in Concert

Posted

Flying Cat Music is pleased to announce that acclaimed folk revival singer/songwriter Ellis Paul will be performing in concert in Phoenicia, N.Y. on June 24, 2023. This will be the fourth in Flying Cat Music’s bi-weekly concert series, bringing the best in folk and Americana music to the Hudson Valley.

A reviewer in Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange once wrote: “Ellis Paul is one of the best singer/songwriters of his generation. His finely-honed songs tell stories filled with images that sparkle like jewels. His is a poet’s heart and a romantic’s soul. He is an optimist who believes in people and possibilities…. I cannot think of another artist on the acoustic music scene who is better loved by fans, or more respected by contemporaries.”

Paul’s songs tell touching, provocative and often romantic stories and shine a light into the dark places that we all experience. He writes of the need for toughness and positivity in difficult times. Sometimes this comes as a reflection on his own life and his own challenges. Other times, he sings of the challenges we have all faced in these difficult times. As Paul explains it: “I try to get to the heart of what we’re all feeling. That’s at the root of what I do – capturing the humanity we all share….” The beautiful and historic Phoenicia United Methodist Church in Phoenicia promises to be just the right setting to hear Paul’s intimate songs which speak of hope, love, compassion for the world, and the resolve to change it.
