Rory Ellis

Rory has spent many years touring locally and internationally taking inspiration from suburban street culture, some of the seedier Melbourne pubs he has worked in, not just as a performer, regular glimpses of the Melbourne underworld, people he’s loved, lost, and from his own eventful life, rich in contrast. Audiences at Rory’s numerous festival appearances and more intimate performances have been captivated by his powerful vocal command and subtle acoustic instrumentation that bring the vivid stories to life.
 

Armed with two media acclaimed albums Rory toured the UK in 2004 for the first time. He spent 3 months there performing over 60 hugely successful shows at venues and festivals alike. So successful his time there he decided to retu in November of that year to do another 16 shows.
 

In April of 2008 Rory signed “Two Feathers” to UK label Villainous Records, taking Rory on his 5th UK tour to support its release. He is performing at festivals and venues in the UK, some include: Shetlands Folk Festival, City Blues Weekend, Off the tracks festival, Middlewich Folk Festival, Glastonwick Festival, North Devon Festival, Larmer Tree Festival, Two Rivers Festival, Southsea Festival and Stokes Bay Festival, with many venue dates in between.
 

Rory is now back in the UK until October 2010 on his 7th tour and has a new album – his 5th aptly entitled Perfectly Damaged - to air to the unsuspecting British public, and to be honest it has it all.
