SUMMARY:Ellis Paul\; guest Bill Buttner
DESCRIPTION:Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs\; he’s a guitar-carryin
 g reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes\, loves\, 
 losses of those he observes\, turning their stories into luminous pieces o
 f music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like 
 the artists who have influenced him – everyone from Joni Mitchell\, Bob 
 Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his great
 est inspiration\, Woody Guthrie – Paul weaves deeply personal experience
 s with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as tim
 ely as they are timeless.\n\nBorn and raised in Maine\, Paul attended Bost
 on College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on 
 the city’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground
  songwriter competition\, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrisse
 y\, who produced his indie album “Say Something” in 1993. This led to 
 a seven-album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album\, “Storie
 s.”\n\nHis songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (“Me\, Mys
 elf\, and Irene”\; “Shallow Hal\,” “Hall Pass”) and have been co
 vered by award winning country artists (Sugarland\, Kristian Bush\, Jack I
 ngram). Through a steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 
 23 releases so far – and a constant touring presence around the world\, 
 Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way\, h
 e has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious K
 errville New Folk Award\, 15 Boston Music Awards\, An Honorary Doctorate f
 rom the University of Maine\, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards
  Artist of the Year and most recently his album\, The Storyteller’s Suit
 case\, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.\n\nwww.ellispaul.com\n\
