Recorded in a single late night session at the historic Crown Court Room of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, the eight tracks on Grace & Danger capture not only Ellis’ sublime live performance, but also the magic of the fabled room itself, channeling the spirits of those who have passed through its infamous walls. Ellis first came to prominence as a songwriter and vocalist during Liverpool's post-millennial underground beat renaissance, and this long-awaited solo release marks a departure and new direction for the man whose music has been described as “A conversation between Elvis Costello and John Martyn.” On his songwriting Ellis says: “I see my songs as chapters and scenes. My records as movies and books. Except, in this film, these stories are true…” “Ellis is a brilliant songwriter, with total disregard for the genre boundaries that can so often restrict acoustic artists. Ellis brings forth song after song of cohesively chill-provoking material that spans from blues, folk and country yet continuously remains in his unique style.” Getintothis “carries the song above and beyond the traditional, propelling it into the realms of a psyche soundscape" Bido Lito
