Jeff Ellis CD Release Party and Todd Burge
|


Jeff Ellis resides in the Huntington area and has been writing and playing for 10 years. He recently
was chosen as Co-winner of The 2008 Newsong International Songwriting Competition, has played
Mountain Stage and is a featured artist on NPR.org. Jeff is releasing his 3rd Solo album titled “Covering
the Distance” and is planning to give you a heaping earful at his CD Release party. Todd Burge will get
the night started with his own blend of folk music.
"Todd Burge's music and personality will grow on you. He draws from the same muse as John Hartford
and Roger Miller, but there's something else in there that keeps it all Todd, all the time. The songs
make me laugh and then think, and then laugh and think again." Tim O'Brien - 2006 Grammy Winner,
fine picker, swell human "Around this state he’s probably the ’dean’ of all the singer/songwriters.
The finest singer & songwriter that we have. The hardest thing for a singer/songwriter is to distinguish
yourself to be original,because there are so many, I mean there are thousands of them out there and
Todd has that quality. His music is unmistakable. You hear both his voice and the way he constructs
songs, the way he rhymes things, what he writes about, all those things are unique. I don’t know
anybody else who does it like Todd does. There are some peoplewho fall into traditions and you can
say they sound pretty much like this person, but Todd doesn’t sound like anybody
and that’s what I like the most about him, is the originality."Larry Groce, Host of PBS’s Mountain Stage
