In Conversation: Robert Ellis

May 20

Texas singer/songwriter Robert Ellis captivated audiences with his bombastic 2019 album, 'Texas Piano Man,' where he expanded his sound to stadium-level proportions without compromising his heartfelt introspections.

However, in his latest release, Yesterday's News, Ellis takes a stripped-down approach, focusing on the bare essentials, often being accompanied by just a softly plucked nylon guitar. The result is a profound collection of songs that delve into various themes, including fatherhood (Ellis is a proud parent to two young children with his wife, Erica) and thought-provoking reflections on our place in the universe.

On this all-new episode of Discologist, we catch up with the iconic Texas troubadour to chat about the allure of quiet songs, the importance of knowing when to call it a day and rest, and much more.
