Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices of the American singer-songwriter world. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer-songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, which helped revitalize the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk/pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990s. For years, he has been among the singer songwriter circuit’s most popular and dependable headliners with fiercely loyal fans all over the globe.
Ellis’ current studio album release, The Day After Everything Changed is completely fan funded. As an independent artist with his own label Black Wolf Records, Ellis raised over $100k in the middle of a deep recession. The result of this project is an excellent example and true testament to the relationship Ellis has built with his fans and the mutual respect they have for each other. This is Ellis’ first studio album without a records label in 10 years
The Snowden Auditorium is located on the First Floor of the Wheatley Building.
