7:00 Ellen DeGenova
Singer/Songwriter Ellen DeGenova teams up with piano whiz Tim Ray to perform originals and covers. A finalist in the 2009 Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Competition, Ellen pledges allegiance to no genre and has a bad habit of marching to the beat of her eclectic heart. In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, show up wearing your undies on the outside of you clothes and get a cupcake at the door. Most fun undies wins the Grand Fundies prize (TBA).

I’ve been singing since the mid-sixties, starting with my sister, Kathy, performing folk music at coffeehouses in the Boston area, such as the Unicorn Coffeehouse and the King’s Rook (we were lucky enough to open up several times for the Kingston Trio in the 70’s) …through the years since then, I’ve travelled much of the country singing Irish music, original folk-rock music, country-rock music in the 80’s, and have made several trips to Nashville, where I placed two original songs with two major publishing firms and almost moved there in the early 90’s....but my roots are in New England! I also hosted a songwriting cable TV show, called Songwriters In The Round for three years, on which we featured many fine songwriters including Noel Paul Stookey, Chris Smither, and Al Kooper, to name just a few. I spent a year and a half writing and performing in an original funk band in the Boston area, the Boston Horns and also explored some jazz and blues combinations. I really love all kinds of music and love singing as many styles as I can. I’m very lucky to have had plenty of work over the years and have recorded a couple of my own CD’s along the way.
