Singer-Songwriter Ellis Paul Returns to the Kate March 8

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, is pleased to welcome back Ellis Paul on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at 7:00 pm.

Ellis Paul is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative, and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television and he has released several children’s albums.

Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship, majoring in English. Injured during his junior year, Paul began playing guitar to help fill his free time and soon began writing songs. He won a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition and gained national exposure on a Windham Hill Records compilation which helped him choose music as a career.

Folk singer Antje Duvekot opens. Originally from Germany, Antje is a compelling live performer and has been
invited to play some of the top festivals including The Newport Folk Festival as well as the Mountain Stage,
Philadelphia and Kerrville Festivals.
