May. 22nd, 2007 07:09 amEllis Paul is one of my favourite musicians: witty, sweet, moving. It's wonderful to listen to him sing and to interact with a crowd. His songs are poignant and funky, beautiful and comical, sad and uplifting. He's a New Englander, originally from Maine and schooled in the folk music scene in Boston (as well as the mean streets of Jamaica Plain, where he served as a social worker for a while).
Today, an article on him is the featured article on Wikipedia, only the second time that a folk musician has been featured on the front page (the first was Bob Dylan). If you have any interest in folk music, or music at all, go have a read, listen to some clips of his music, and if you like what you hear, see him in concert (he'll be in Sykesville, MD, this Thursday, then coming back to the area and playing a gig in Vienna in late June).
Congratulations to Ellis and to Karen Zundel, who wrote the Wikipedia article.
