Live from Newport Folk: Robert Ellis

For the second year in a row, Paste teamed up with our friends at Sennheiser for intimate recording sessions at Newport Folk Festival. The latest installment of the series from the Paste Ruins features Houston singer-songwriter Robert Ellis. His sound, which takes a fresh approach to acoustic guitars and classic banjo music, has garnered attention since he self-released The Great Re Arranger in 2009.

Ellis joined us to perform “Comin’ Home” from his 2011 release Photographs. You can catch this charming rendition in the player below.
