Modern Folk Pop favorite Ellis Paul is bringing his
music to his fans in Greater Cincinnati this weekend, performing
Saturday at The Redmoor. Paul’s connection to his fans is well known to
music biz observers — his 2010 album, The Day After Everything Changed,
is considered one of the first big “fan-funded” music success stories.
Paul raised $100,000 via fan donations for that album (a critical and
commercial success) and is currently readying his next fan-funded
full-length (due this spring).
The show starts at 8 p.m. with Cincinnati
singer/songwriter Kim Taylor, who is also using fan funding to release
her next effort, Love’s A Dog; it’s expected to be available
within the next couple of months. Saturday’s performance will be
Taylor’s first since the independent film in which she made her acting
debut, I Used To Be Darker, premiered at the Sundance Film
Festival. The movie had a successful Sundance, getting purchased at the
festival by Monterey Media. Tickets are $20 in advance through
ticketweb.com or $25 at the door. Saturday, Feb. 2. The Redmoor, 3187 Linwood Ave., Mount
Lookout. theredmoor.com.
