Hi Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying the summer. Here in Ellisville, after hitting 99 degrees 3 days in a row, we finally broke 100 a week or so ago, but this week has been delightfully cool–unusual for late July. I hope it’s comfortable where you are.
The GORDON ELLIS ENSEMBLE has two upcoming gigs scheduled at the beginning of August. We are performing again at the iconic Springwater Lounge on Friday Aug. 2nd from 5 – 7 P.M. Two sets of all original Americana – Country music, with the delightful Haddie Jane doing a few songs on the break. If you haven’t been there before, The Springwater is at 115 27th Ave. N., Nashville, 37203, a half block north of West End Ave. and across from Centennial Park. No cover, but tips always appreciated.
The next day, Saturday Afternoon, Aug. 3rd, we will be playing for the first time at the also iconic Bobby’s Idle Hour from 3 – 5 p.m. It’s in the heart of the Music Row Area, 9 Music Square S., between 16th and 17th Ave S. Also, no cover, but there is a tip jar. Ray Sisk, a well known and very talented songwriter will play a short set on the break. I hope you can make one of these, or even both.
That’s all the news for now, from Ellisville. Enjoy the rest of summer.
Be safe, be well, be you!
Gordon
