The Artists

Rory Ellis is one of Australia’s leading acoustic performers taking audiences by storm, nationally and internationally. Both his solo releases Ride and Road Of The Braver Man have impressed all the critics, which is no mean feat.

Rory has built a huge reputation at festivals and venues in Australia and, more recently, overseas. He is arguably one of this country's finest vocalists and songwriters and uses a collection of roots music influences to create a style he labels as 'urban folk'. He takes the listener on a journey through the back alleys of Melbourne and into his home, letting you in to his own private world, a man blessed with an extremely colourful life and a voice that has lived the tales he tells.

'Such is the quality of Rory Ellis's voice alone - the richness of the timbre, the skill of his technique - that he conveys an irresistable charisma. And that's not even counting his songwriting skills. The first few verses I heard, I was done for - instant fan.' Jackey Coyle, Rhythms Magazine
