Award winning performer Ellis Paul returns to the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse in Franklin on Saturday, December 2nd accompanied by Radoslav Lorković on keys. He 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. His new album "55" touches on the necessity of gratitude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided political stances. https://www.ellispaul.com/ Special guest Grace Morrison will open the show. Born and raised on the shores of Cape Cod, Grace's unique brand of "saltwater country" has established her as a confident, refreshing voice in country-pop. With performances at Nashville's Bluebird Café and co-writes with multi-Grammy winner Lori McKenna under her belt, Grace made a name for herself in 2022 at songwriter festivals from Massachusetts to Montana. https://www.gracemorrison.com/ The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse is a non-profit organization affiliated with Franklin's First Universalist Society.
