Robert Ellis has a collection of lullabies ready to go, so ditch the Ambien.
Robert Ellis wears many hats as a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who founded and co-owns a record label, Niles City Records. He enjoys listening to Bernstein conducting Mahler, Chet Baker dancing through trumpet melodies, and the Midwest emo riffs of American football. He also bought a bar in Fort Worth this past month, which he plans to remodel into a live music and cocktail venue.
On the final Friday and Saturday of SXSW, he played three show days packed with press. You could have caught him playing piano for a Leon Russell tribute set with Beau Bedford with guests such as Sierra Ferrell and Margo Price. Or at The Mohawk playing with Texas-based indie-rock artist Ben Kweller. “That whole polyvinyl record scene… I was super into American football," he says."I had a high school band, and we played rock ‘n’ roll.”
His guitar coach left town to tour with a band soon after, leaving him to inherit his coach’s students.
