RORY ELLIS & CHRISTIAN MARSH

Stories by the ton, and Americana music with extra spice!

This act features the hypnotically resonant voice of Rory Ellis, in turn playing all things acoustic, joined onstage by harmonica master Christian Marsh. Together they perform stripped down, tastefully rearranged versions of media acclaimed songs from Rory's 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.

Christian is a world renowned master of the Chromatic and Diatonic Harmonica having won “Gold Harmonica Awards in Tamworth 3 times worked alongside harmonica giants such as Howard Levy, Larry Adler, Toots Theilemans and featured on many profile Australian and International artists albums and stages.
