Following a string of live shows across Australia, the powerful songwriter and performer Rory Ellis has released his fourth studio album Two Feathers to much international critical acclaim.
Two Feathers includes poignant songs about regret and separation, new love, new chapters, as well as delving into his childhood hideaways on the tin roof of the old shed. Even the passing of his long-time stage cohort and the involvement of Australians in the Iraq conflict have been explored in Rory’s distinctive style.
Encompassing everything from blues, folk and country music, never has an artist offered so much. His fourth album is something of a masterpiece, both in terms of both song-writing and production. Fusing acoustic and electric instruments into a rich sounding album, true in tone, with a warmth that only embellishes the mood of this stunning piece of work, like a trip back to the old vinyls we knew and loved.
It is rare to find an artist who is truly one of a kind but Rory Ellis cannot be pigeon-holed, and music fans across Australia will embrace this exceptional performer.
