CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS
ALBUM RELEASE SHOW
Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. The lifelong show business veteran began performing at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, but has since turned to the banjo because that's where the money is. His band, Curtis Eller’s American Circus, has developed a devoted international following based on spellbinding stage performances that combine a dreamlike view of American history with silent film style, physical comedy, and explosive rock & roll energy.
The iconoclastic troubadour has spent twenty years relentlessly touring the clubs, theaters and festivals of North America and Europe. Eller’s legendary solo shows once earned him the title of “New York’s angriest yodeling banjo player”.
The New Album:
The tour celebrates the release of their new album,
"Another Nice Mess." The recording captures the band in their ragged, retro splendor, as they guide listeners through a sepia-tinged world of tightrope walkers, heavyweight brawlers, Hollywood scream queens, firing squads, fallen soldiers and conscientious objectors. At the heart of the forthcoming set is ‘Another Nice Mess': A sweet, sentimental waltz about the enduring friendship between Laurel & Hardy. You are invited to run away with the circus when this little big top comes to town!
