Wagonwheel Presents: Curtis Eller's American Circus
On Sunday April 17th, WagonWheel presents Curtis Eller back to Shakespeares.
Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock and roll singer. After beginning his show business career at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, the Detroit native turned to the banjo and lit out for New York City where he rose to obscurity as "New York's angriest yodeling banjo player". ?
The latest version of The American Circus ensemble is a brutish and inelegant rock and roll outfit specializing in banjo music for funerals, gospel tunes for atheists and novelty dance fads for amputees. A lavish, Hollywood, dance sequence unfolding on the floor of a Chicago meatpacking plant in 1894.
The group's latest phonographic recording, How to Make It in Hollywood, is a compact collection of glittery show tunes, sentimental tear-jerkers and rock and roll rave-ups whose lyrics are populated with two-bit prize fighters, Hollywood has-beens, lapsed gospel singers and forgotten pop stars.
Plus support.
