A little over a month ago, I was contacted by a PR company and asked if I would be able to promote a family performance at Eddie's Attic in April. I asked them to please send me a cd of the music to review so as to better be able to share with my subscribers and encourage you to attend. The PR company generously offered up 5 pairs of tickets to giveaway to you!

Within days, the CD was in my hands. Ellis Paul's "The Dragonfly Races". The cover was cute and I was eager to listen. After Ella's first nap of the day we popped it in her cd player, and there is stayed for weeks! We LOVED this CD. A fun mix folk and children friendly lyrics had this mamma dancing along, literally. Ella and I can dance to this over and over again and I can now sing most if not all of the words to the songs.

The Boston Globe heralds him as a "songwriter's songwriter" saying "no emerging songwriter in recent memory has been more highly touted and respected by songwriters." USA Today's national feature on Ellis was titled, "Best Bet for Stardom" which has come true after 15 years of non-stop touring. 

Ellis Paul is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet and troubadour He is the recipient of thirteen Boston Music Awards, second only to multi-platinum act Aerosmith. Since launching from Boston, Ellis  has built a vast catalog of music which weds striking poetic imagery and philosophical introspection with hookladen melodies. He averages 150 shows a year and travels across America and Europe, playing venues from church basements to Carnegie Hall. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame invited Ellis to pay tribute to his hero Woody Guthrie, who has influenced and inspired Ellis in a profound way. 

I am so excited that Ellis is performing at Eddie's Attic on April 3oth  and I'm even more excited that I am going to be able to send so many of you!
