Ellis Paul

As one of the principle leaders in the 1990s Boston folk scene, Ellis Paul's charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists and bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. In the words of Roberta Schwartz of FAME, Ellis Paul "has done the one thing all artists yearn to accomplish. He has told our universal story, and has revealed our universal truths. . . . Ellis Paul gives us hope, gives us a reason to dream and to love. His music is the soundtrack of our lives."
