About this show

Robert Ellis plays Velvet Elk Lounge, a 65-capacity small room in Downtown Boulder, on Friday, November 20. Also on the bill: Wheelwright. The show starts at 8 PM. Tickets are $24 plus fees. Robert Ellis also has 3 other dates on Go See Shows, in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.

Recorded live to tape in just two days, Robert Ellis’s exquisite new album, Yesterday’s News, is as stripped-down as it gets, with the celebrated songwriter and producer’s delicate, reedy tenor accompanied only by nylon string guitar, upright bass, and the occasional piece of handheld percussion. The arrangements are harmonically sophisticated here, drawing on the open tunings and intricate fingerpicking of English songwriters like Nick Drake or Richard Thompson, and Ellis’s performances are similarly subtle and nuanced, tapping into the bittersweet longing of Chet Baker and the playful poignancy of Bill Evans and Jim Hall.
