Robert Ellis

With a blend of country, bluegrass and folk music, singer/songwriter Robert Ellis heads to The W Hotel for an intimate gig.

Originally from Houston Texas, this long haired singer is reasonably new to the music scene, and after having been in the industry for just 4 years, Robert Ellis has now got a fresh hair fade and new attitude towards his music.

Initially having started his career off as part of a band ‘Robert Ellis and The Boys”, as the lead vocalist of the group, it was clear that he had a lot to offer musically, which inevitably led him to transition into a solo career. After relocating in 2012, Ellis found that his new home in Tennessee had a positive effect on his musical ability.

The W is an extremely prestigious hotel chain and is well known for its impeccably high standards and with this in mind, having Robert Ellis down made sense. His set was short but personal with a Q&A session to break up the 2 tracks he performed. The compere asked a variety of questions and one picked up on his new hairstyle. He has cut his infamous tresses and now has a skin fade and small beard; personally I prefer it.

Performing “Only Lies” and “Steady As The Rising Sun” highlighted his customary style but also showed his versatility, and both were great choices for such a small audience. Whether with a supporting band or just his guitar, he would fit any bill effortlessly.
