Ellery
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 9.12.06With perfect timing, a friend of mine invited me to a concert tonight. It was at the Rohs Street Cafe, featuring the two person group Ellery.
Rohs Street Cafe is a bit out of the way, but certainly worth it. The prices were good, the drinks amazing, and the atmosphere really cool. I had a sesame seed and honey latte; a beverage I would have never thought of, nor expected to be so good! Jeremy is writing up a review in Phlegon’s Blog, so I won’t spend too much time describing it, save to mention it’s built in an old house; probably my favorite type of coffee shop. Old architecture and coffee house mix very well.
Ellery was awesome, I highly recommend visiting their website and listening to some of the samples! And keep in mind, they’re even better live. The audience was enthusiastic, though a bit slow to join in on the few Christmas songs. Even the opening artist was great; the brilliant guitarist Aaron Jones. Talking with him afterwards, he said he was a bit nervous opening with solely instrumental music, but everyone loved it.
Just getting back from Michigan in the past week or so, Ellery plays in a few of the surrounding states this month. By February they’ll be making their way out to Minnisota, so be sure to check if they’re any where near your area! Yes, I highly recommend it.
