Grey Eagle ~ Asheville, NC and WWNC Interview ~ 8/3/2007

Postby Mtn Gal » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:17 am

Not sure what I was thinking but I only took one photo at the show...duh! Ellis was awesome as usual. Had a nice crowd, about 130, I'd say, which included loyal fans, folks from the Swannanoa Gathering where Ellis spent the week teaching songwriting, a whole lotta newbies, and even a couple from Hickory who went to high school with him (they even brought the yearbook!).

And here's the link to the podcast of the in-studio interview Ellis did at WWNC. It was so good. I watched it from the adjoining studio and was kind of messed up with the 7 second delay, especially during the 2 songs he played but aside from that, it was a great interview! He played Take All the Sky You Need & Jukebox on My Grave. I hope you enjoy it!

Mtn Gal,

Awesome! I'm listening to the podcast! Thank you! :)

Mtn Gal,

Oh wow....you're right! What a great (and fun) interview! I love how after Ellis did his songs, the on-air guy promoted the Grey Eagle show by saying "if you too would like the Ellis Paul Experience".... :)

We both listened in to this - what a great interview. Thought that the DJ was very well researched and asked intelligent questions. It took a little while for the podcast to get going but it was certainly worth the wait.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hey Mtn. Gal (and others)...

If you're in the Asheville area, don't miss my 'other' fave folk artist (ok, ok, 'second favorite'), David Lamotte. I got hooked on his music when I lived in Asheville. Here's a link to hear his stuff (scroll down to the mp3's)...

Thanks so much for posting that link, Amy. A few days after the Grey Eagle show, I met a woman who is a huge Ellis fan, was at the show (we actually stood next to each other and chatted with him but didn't know each other yet!) and told me all about David Lamotte. I hadn't heard his music though til I clicked on your link and I am so glad I did! What a phenomenal guitarist he is! The command he has over his instrument is truly amazing. He's got a great voice, too, and it doesn't hurt any that he's easy on the eyes! :wink:

He's got several dates coming up in my area so I will surely check him out. Thanks again! I love this board!!

Mtn Gal,

Thanks for making my day. :)

Just so Jela and I know for sure.....in your humble estimation.....would you describe David Lamotte as swoonworthy? ;)

LOL Karen! Having never seen him in person, I can't say for certain but my preliminary and humble estimation is that yes, he is swoonworthy!

You girls are making me chuckle here to myself especially as tonight I'm off to the first of three, yes three concerts this weekend by the 'swoonworthiest' himself as Karen calls him!

Okay, Jela ~ I've picked up a lot since joining the board not too long ago but forgive me, I don't know who Karen says is the swoonworthiest! Would you (or anyone!) shed some light for this newbie?

And I'd love to hear who you're going to see this weekend. I'm home with sick child so I'll live vicariously for a bit!

Mtn Gal,

We don't want to keep you in suspense any longer. The swoonworthiest would be Richard Shindell. :)

I hope the sick child is feeling better soon.

Ahhhh! Thank you and thank you for the good wishes. He just started Kindergarten so I knew it wouldn't be long before he picked up a new strain of germ!
