Ellis Paul’s kids’ album, The Dragonfly Races
His songs are full of imagination and curiosities. From traveling to the bottom of the ocean to attending the dragonfly races, Ellis takes the listener on an adventure through music. The CD almost sounds like the soundtrack to a fanciful cartoon!
Ellis says in an interview with Sienna Wildfield at Hilltown Families that he wants to get kids thinking about life as a journey:
Exploration is how we learn. From the moment we are crawling on the floor in a bedroom looking at all the nooks and crannies a room has to offer. Exploration leads to the discovery of cool things and interesting places, but mostly, by exploring, we discover something about ourselves and our relationship to our world.
And Ellis’ explorations are bringing him to Club Passim in Cambridge for a set of shows celebrating his 20 years in music—looks like he’s going to sing every song he’s ever recorded in order over the course of five shows on Friday and Saturday! To learn more about his daring plan, watch this video on WGBH.
On Saturday at 3:30pm he’ll be performing songs from The Dragonfly Races
