Ellis Paul
- Folk
- Singer/Songwriter
Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. He weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless.
His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (“Me, Myself, and Irene”; “Shallow Hal”; “Hall Pass”) and have been covered by award-winning country artists Sugarland, Kristian Bush, and Jack Ingram.
Paul has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, 15 Boston Music Awards, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and his album, The Storyteller’s Suitcase, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.
His most recent album 55 – released in 2023 – touches on the necessity of gratitude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided political stances on his own imprint, Rosella Records. Paul is currently writing his first novel, a science fiction fantasy for young adults titled “The Last Song Mankind Wrote”. Stay tuned for updates about its publication.
His New Year’s Eve shows at Passim have become a 25+ year tradition. The Beatles sing-a-long show which premiered in 2025 is set to also become a tradition!
Diane Zeigler
- Singer/Songwriter
The winner of 8 national songwriting awards, Diane Zeigler is a skilled performer with a quick laugh, and her live shows offer a full spectrum of entertainment and inspired musicianship. She combines a crystalline vocal style with distinctive open-tuning guitar work, crafting songs that have earned her respect among songwriters and critics as “one of the most talented singer-songwriters New England has produced.” (The Music Matters) Her recordings have been consistently lauded by critics and each has charted #1 on national folk radio playlists published at www.folkradio.org.
Zeigler’s songs capture a sense of place and community, informed as they are by the unique landscape of Vermont. She took a 20 year hiatus to raise three children, but is back to songwriting and performing and plans a new recording.
