THE JOHN ELLIS QUARTET
MAKES NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE DEBUT
AT SCOJO'S CAFE ON FRIDAY, MAY 12TH, 8PM
WHERE:
SCOJO'S CAFE (across from Wildhorse Saloon, downtown Nashville) 121 2nd Avenue North
“It's that mix of North and South, Big Easy and Big Apple, funk and futuristic sounds that makes Ellis one of the more exciting young artists to emerge in recent years." -- All About Jazz
WHO:
THE JOHN ELLIS QUARTET
(featuring John Ellis on saxophones, Mike Moreno on guitar, Alan Hampton on bass and Derrek Phillips on drums)
WHAT:
John Ellis makes his Nashville debut performance leading his own band on Friday, May 12th at Scojo's Cafe. The 32-year old tenor saxophonist, who first made a name for himself on the national music scene as a member of The Charlie Hunter Trio, will release his brand new album, By A Thread, on HYENA Records May 9th. This latest release, which follows up last year's critically acclaimed, One Foot In The Swamp, marks the emergence of John Ellis as a full-time solo artist, having recently left his post in Charlie Hunter's group of which he served for the last five years. With momentum building behind his own records and tours, Ellis felt it time to devote full energy to his own music. If the results on By A Thread are any indicator, the decision was a wise one.
WHEN:
FRIDAY, MAY 12TH
8:00 PM
PRICE:
$10.00
