Episode 63 – Robert Ellis

This Week On Walking The Floor

Singer/songwriter Robert Ellis might be my long lost cousin (by way of marriage, twice removed). He’s also a phenomenal guitar player and we get deep in the weeds talking shop on this episode. Stay tuned to the end for his acoustic rendition of “Drivin'” from his self-titled latest record.

 

About The Guest

Robert Ellis began performing as “Eyes Like Lions” early in 2005, playing in Lake Jackson, Texas. The self-released LP, The Great Rearranger was sold at shows, but Ellis found a higher level of success when American Songwriter’s Magazine named his second album Photographs as one of the top 50 albums of 2011. Originally from Texas, in 2012, Ellis relocated from Austin, Texas to Nashville, Tennessee to work on his third album The Lights from the Chemical Plant in Eric Masse’s Casino recording studio under the direction of album producer Jacquire King. Ellis has said that this album, influenced by his hometown Lake Jackson, Texas, incorporates more pop influences.
