PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this show now takes place at the Peer Hat, rather than the Eagle Inn. Original tickets remain valid and all other details are the same.Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. The twenty-year show business veteran started his career at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, but has since turned to the banjo because that’s where the money is. He is a prolific songwriter who’s banjo-driven songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one.
Eller and his band, The American Circus, have developed a devoted international following based on dynamic stage performances that employ a ragged, antique rock & roll sound to bring the historically evocative compositions to vivid, cinematic life. This September, Mr. Eller will embark on a solo, acoustic tour of the UK.
Local support comes from Granfalloon. About to release his as-yet-unnamed fourth album, Granfalloon continues the work of third album, Positive Songs, to focus more on traditional songwriting, and not quite traditional storytelling, to chisel out small, beautiful moments. This new album showcases this non-traditional storytelling with subject matter like… the meta-narrative approach to the dangers to you and the relationships around you that writing can have, expressing love through mathematical formulae, and 8 year old girls catching bees in Tupperware boxes, all with a heavy dose of Richard Lomax’s absurdism.
The first singles from the new album have picked up support from BBC 6 Music, drawing complimentary ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ from both Chris Hawkins and Tom Robinson.
