Toronto singer-songwriter Tyler Ellis is one of the unsung heroes of folk-roots music on the scene, but his peculiar poetry brilliantly shines in this apropos LIVE album GREATER-THAN, recorded at the ever-popular, intimate Free Times Café in downtown Toronto. Ellis’ seventh album to date, Greater-Than – dedicated to his father who passed away in December of last year – is set to be released at a concert on June 21st at the New Hugh’s Room Live, 296 Broadview Ave., Toronto, ON.

With opening sets by two of Toronto’s most prolific and dynamic singer-songwriters, Lynn Harrison, Noah Zacharin, and a special performance from Tranzitionz Jazz, the doors are open at 7:00 pm and the music starts at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $30 Advance + Tax & Fees at www.Hughsroomlive.com.

Tyler Ellis's Greater-Than album offers a portrait of a near-perfect folksinger (he admits, in song, to being a “John Prine wannabe”) doing what he does best: a lone man with an acoustic guitar, leading singalongs and relentlessly charming a full house of fans, with his expert songcraft and a fine sense of humour, live onstage at Toronto's renowned Free Times Cafe.
