Ellis Paul will present an evening of intimate, provocative and romantic tales including new music from his upcoming album 55, which reference the events of the last two years. A troubadour, a folky, a storyteller, Paul has been a force on the scene since 1993.

Paul is the quintessential songwriter who has released close to two dozen albums. With a tattoo of Woody Guthrie worn proudly on his arm, his commitment to Guthrie’s legacy led to his inclusion in a ten-day celebration of Woody’s work held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an event that included Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls, and Ani DiFranco. He later headlined at the first Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Okemah, Oklahoma.

In the words of Guthrie’s daughter Nora: “In times like these, it’s comforting to know that Ellis Paul is actually holding our sanity on his own stage! Wise, tender, brilliant and biting, Ellis is one of our best human compasses.”

Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Radoslav Lorkovic grew up hearing Croatian, Slovenian and Czech folk songs sung by his maternal grandmother. His grandfather was an internationally renowned classical pianist. In America, Lorkovic, playing piano and Zydeco-style accordion, began touring at age 20. He has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion, eTown, and Mountain Stage as well as music venues across the globe and an array of Italian castles and villas.
