Ellis (Delaney) / Special Guest Rebecca Pronsky played Fri Oct 10 at 8pm

September 12, 2014

A portion of the proceeds of this concert to benefit: Doctors Without Borders  

There’s just something about Ellis. She is funny, wise, thoughtful and uninhibited, and her captivating voice is matched by her uplifting lyrics. Her irrepressible spirit comes through in her transformational performances, leaving her audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges and opened hearts.

What Folks Are Saying About Ellis

    Ron Olesko, WFDU Public Radio
  • If ever there was a feel-good folk musician, this is the woman – somebody who really does send you off feeling better about the world.”
    John Davy, No Depression

    Dale Schiff, Just Out Magazine

Special Guest Opening Act: Rebecca Pronsky

Rebecca Pronsky is a born and raised Brooklynite whose music is “as urban as it is rural, not afraid to be sophisticated” (Maverick). Her songs are gritty and dark, layered and dreamy, bravely disobeying the usual conventions of the Americana genre.

She “sounds like The Smiths relocated to Nashville” (Northern Sky) and “her voice conveys the wisdom of experience, over a wash of noirishly twangy guitars” (NPR).

Rebecca is joined on stage and in the studio by husband and guitarist/producer Rich Bennett “whose lean chords and riffs evoke shades of The Doors, Morricone and classic rockabilly” (The Scotsman). The two have spent nearly a decade criss-crossing the US and Europe on tour and have shared the stage with Shawn Colvin, Freedy Johnston, Loudon Wainwright III, Josh Ritter, Amy Rigby, and Steve Forbert among others. Rebecca’s latest record “Only Daughter” was named a Top Ten Country Album of 2013 by the UK’s Daily Telegraph.
