Description
Old Sloop Coffeehouse presents a concert by Ellis with Marina Evans opening. There's just something about Ellis. She is at once funny and wise, thoughtful and uninhibited, and her captivating voice is matched by her uplifting lyrics. After her February 2013 appearance on A Prairie Home Companion, Ellis' music charted in the Folk Top 100 in iTunes and Folk Top 20 on Amazon.com, and she received hundreds of messages from strangers. Ellis' performances are transformational; she leaves her audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges and opened hearts. Coffee, tea, and a variety of delicious and very popular home-made baked pie and cake will be sold before and after the concert and at intermission.
