Robert Ellis with Wheelwright

Acclaimed songwriter Robert Ellis returns to Boulder with his backing band Wheelwright for a stripped‑down, tape‑recorded set at Velvet Elk Lounge. Featuring delicate nylon‑string guitar, upright bass, and subtle percussion, Ellis will perform selections from his new album “Yesterday’s News,” channeling the intimacy of Nick Drake and the lyrical depth of Joni Mitchell. The adult crowd can anticipate a nuanced, emotionally resonant evening that showcases Ellis’s storytelling prowess in a relaxed, cocktail‑rich setting.
