Curtis Eller’s American Circus Album Release Tour with Crystal Bright

CURTIS ELLER’S AMERICAN CIRCUS    The Band: Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. The beloved show business veteran began performing at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, but has since turned to the banjo because that’s where the money is. His band, Curtis Eller’s American Circus, has developed a devoted international following based on spellbinding stage performances that combine a dreamlike vision of American history with silent film style, physical comedy, and explosive rock & roll energy. The iconoclastic troubadour has spent twenty-five years relentlessly touring the clubs, theatres and festivals of North America, Europe, and Australia. This January, Eller will embark on a limited run of East Coast club dates, backed by a heavy-hitting, four-piece lineup of The American Circus featuring musicians from both sides of the Atlantic.The New Album:The tour celebrates the release of their new album, “Another Nice Mess.” The recording captures the band in their ragged, retro splendor, as they guide listeners through a sepia-tinged world of tightrope walkers, heavyweight brawlers, Hollywood scream queens, firing squads, fallen soldiers and conscientious objectors. At the heart of the forthcoming set is ‘Another Nice Mess’: A sweet, sentimental waltz about the enduring friendship between Laurel & Hardy. You are invited to run away with the circus when this little big top comes to town!   Order the new album here: https://curtiseller.bandcamp.com/album/another-nice-mess Band Members:Curtis Eller: banjo & lead vocalsStacy Wolfson: harmony vocalsHugh Crumley: electric bass Steve Cowles: saxophone & fluteAndy Lyth: drums & harmony Tickets & Info: https://curtiseller.com/tour YouTube: https://youtube.com/curtisellermusic Bandcamp: https://curtiseller.bandcamp.com   Instagram: https://instagram.com/curtisellermusicFacebook: https://facebook.com/curtisellermusic
