Ellis Paul will be performing at Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry on Friday, May 14, at 8 p.m.

Paul is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet and troubadour originally hailing from a potato farming family in northern Maine. He is the recipient of 13 Boston Music Awards, second only to multi-platinum act Aerosmith. Since launching from Boston, Paul has built a vast catalog of music which weds striking poetic imagery and philosophical introspection with hook-laden melodies.

USA Today’s national feature on Ellis was titled, “Best Bet for Stardom,” which has come true after 15 years of non-stop touring. He has shared the stage with such notable artists as John Mayer, Bill Morrisey, Shawn Colvin and John Gorka early on and quickly progressed to headlining concerts and festivals.

Tupelo Music Hall is located at 2 Young Road in Londonderry. Tickets $25. For tickets or more information call 437-5100 or visit www.tupelohall.com.
