Before taking requests, Ellis commented on the upcoming 20th anniversary shows at Passim saying he's been brushing-up on the older material and was happy to be bringing some of the older songs back on the road. He caught a cold yesterday and was sniffling and blowing a bit...but still sounded strong. The sound at the Club Cafe is always excellent....yet it's small enough that the unplugged songs are always a treat. It was a somewhat smaller-than-usual crowd due to the fact that Kris Kristofferson and Justin Townes Earle were performing free at the 3-Rivers Arts Festival, but the audience was quite enthusiastic and sang along when asked.
Have just a handful of pictures to post....
