Robert Ellis w/ Philip Bowen

Singer-songwriter Robert Ellis is bringing an intimate, stripped-down performance to Club Cafe. His latest album, *Yesterday's News*, showcases his voice backed by just nylon-string guitar, upright bass, and light percussion—a stark contrast to his earlier, more energetic work. Ellis is known for constantly reinventing his sound, drawing inspiration from folk and Americana traditions. Critics have praised his storytelling ability and emotional depth across his five solo albums. Opening the show is Philip Bowen, a West Virginia-born multi-instrumentalist rooted in Appalachian folk and modern Americana. He's gained a significant following through touring and social media, and has performed at venues like The Bluebird Cafe and NPR's Mountain Stage. This is an adults-only event (21+). Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $20, or $25 at the door.
