Ellis Paul “The Hero In You”

Ellis Paul released a new family album this year, called "The Hero in You", and his family shows are currently featuring songs from this album, as well as a few older Dragonfly Races songs..


The new album is centered on true American heroes throughout history including Rosa Parks, Ben Franklin, Jackie Robinson, Woody Guthrie, Martha Graham and more. This collection of songs was created by Ellis Paul to remind both parents and children of the importance that these incredible individuals had on American culture and history, and Ellis hopes to inspire kids to reach for the same great heights that these wonderful characters achieved. The album was recently awarded a Gold Parents' Choice Award, their highest honor.


Lynne Heffley, of Parents' Choice, writes: "The Hero in You is an inspired family album with execution to match. Paul connects his moving and celebratory biographical sketches with messages of positive reinforcement to young people to explore their own potential and follow their dreams."
