Curtis Eller + Supports

Curtis Eller
Friday 16th September
The New Adelphi Club

Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. A twenty-year show business veteran, Eller and his band The American Circus have developed a devoted international following based on dynamic, highly physical stage performances and an extensive catalog of curious phonographic recordings. The iconoclastic musician has spent more than a decade relentlessly touring the club, theatre and festival stages of North America and Europe.

Eller is a gifted and prolific songwriter who’s banjo-driven songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. The band is thrilled to announce the release of their latest and most ambitious full-length album, A Poison Melody, on which they have augmented their indelicate, rock & roll rhythms with a tempestuous cloud of horns and a graceless choir of backsliders in their quest to bring Eller’s historically evocative compositions to vivid, cinematic life.

“Curtis Eller finds the middle ground between silent film The General and a banjo-packin’ Jello Biafra. Eller’s songs are an American History 101 course in waking life.”

-American Songwriter Magazine

“As a songwriter he’s created a unique lyrical world backed with razor sharp banjo playing. As a live performer he’s simply remarkable – a whirlwind of chaotic charismatic that leaps off the stage & whips through the crowd.”

“Go and see Curtis Eller. One day, you’ll be able to say you saw him in a tiny venue before he was huge.”
