Stories by the ton, and Americana music with extra spice!
Featuring the hypnotically resonant voice of Rory Ellis, playing all things acoustic, stripped down, tastefully arranged versions of his nationally and internationally media acclaimed songs from his last 10 albums. Added to this is a healthy dollop of brand new material currently unreleased.
Thirty odd years in the making, Rory has performed extensively at major venues and festivals here and abroad alongside greats such as Robert Cray, Richie Havens, Charlie Mussellwhite, Eric Bibb, even Pokey La Farge. Some festivals include, Isle Of Wight Festival UK, Maryport Blues Festival UK, Shetland Folk Festival UK, Castel St Pietro Blues Festival IT, Celle Festival DE, Thredbo Blues Festival AU, Port Fairy Folk Festival AU, National Folk Festival AU, the list goes on.
In recent years, Rory has performed at Thredbo Blues Festival 2022 and 2023, Blue Mountains Music Festival 2022, Bells Line Festival 2022, Cygnet Folk Festival 2024, Broadbeach Blues Festival 2024, finalist in the Sydney Blues Challenge 2024 and for the 8th time in its 30 years, Thredbo Blues Festival in 2025.
An underground hero of Americana”, it’s been whispered. A Master Songsmith many have said. Yet, lauded by the media worldwide on every single album to date!
