Music Room

Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like the artists who have influenced him, everyone from Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greatest inspiration, Woody Guthrie, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless. Born and raised in Maine, Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrissey, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a sevenalbum contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album, Stories.

 

His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me, Myself, and Irene; Shallow Hal, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland, Kristian Bush, Jack Ingram). Through a steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant touring presence around the world, Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way, he has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, 15 Boston Music Awards, An Honorary Doctorate from the University of Maine, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recently his album, The Storyteller’s Suitcase, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.

Opening-

Eclipse - Original Progressive Jazz Fusion

​

This matinee performance will mark the return of The Outcrops to the Lizzie Rose Music Room. Their debut at the Lizzie Rose last year showcased a band that had all the ingredients to be something special. Their return will  prove that they have continued to elevate their game and will deliver a stellar evening of jams. The addition of a keyboard player fills up their arrangements and adds a whole new dimension to their sound. They deliver a perfect mix of songs from their new album and some very cool covers. To expound on that thought a bit, they usually drop the iconic jam "Sissy Strut" by proving they can get down with the funk.

Cassidy's angelic vocals are great and full of emotion especially when she sings " Angel From Montgomery". She is complimented by the keyboard player's strong lead and backup vocals. This is a band that truly enjoys what they are doing and prove it with extended jams and great call and response duos between the keyboard player and a guitarist that has a Derek Trucks vibe, and great interplay between the bass player and drummer. The band has been gigging constantly and will certainly have added some new jams to their repertoire. We are gratified that all of our recent under the radar shows have turned out to be great performances. So, this is going to be another under the radar show that you will kick yourself if you decide to pass on it. Do yourself a big favor and get a ticket and join us for a kick but evening of music by The Outcrops.

Bernard Purdie
The World's Most Recorded Drummer

Which musician did Aretha Franklin definitely NOT want missing from the line-up when she recorded her most inspired albums at the beginning of the seventies Who provided the back-beat for Steely Dan's "Aja", and for whom have Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway, B.B. King, "Sweet" Lou Donaldson, Joe Cocker and Hank Crawford reserved that stool behind the drum kit? The list is incomplete, it must be, because no other drummer in the last three decades has seen the interior of a recording studio as often as Bernard "Pretty" Purdie.  Purdie has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date.

​

Dave Keyes
Dave has played with some of the most important figures of blues, roots and folk music, having had long musical relationships with Odetta, David Johansen, Bo Diddley, rockabilly legend Sleepy LaBeef and gospel great Marie Knight among many others.

Chris Bergson
Chris Bergson is an internationally acclaimed American born guitarist, singer, and songwriter. “Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build a house on – it’s B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield.” (ROLL Magazine) Hailed as “the New York street poet with a blues soul” (MOJO) and “one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music.

Ellis Hooks  is an American soul blues and electric blues singer and songwriter, who has released six albums to date.
The Allmusic journalist, Thom Jurek, noted that Hooks " touches upon Wilson Pickett, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding, but feels like one of the gritty New York streets Hooks has busked upon.
