Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse Presents Double Bill – Ellis Paul and Hudson Valley Sally

Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative, and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s.  His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

“Despite his success and sense of history, Mr. Paul remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential in his music.” — The New York Times

Hudson Valley Sally

Hudson Valley Sally is Terry Colliton, John Fisher, Laurie Siegel, and David Tarlo. Their music is rooted in the tradition of activist folk music–an unending chain that goes back centuries and spans the globe.

“Hudson Valley Sally is a delightful group of activist musicians who will have you smiling and clapping.  Most of all, they’ll have you thinking about the content of their songs.”  says Sonny Ochs.   Folk Project emcee Jeff Rantzer says “I think the Weavers are looking down and saying ‘yeah, that’s how it’s done!’ These guys are carrying on that legacy beautifully.”  Si Kahn says “They sing with a freshness that reminds us why we fell in love with folk music in the first place.” And from Charlie King: “They light up the stage with a joyous energy.”
