In this sharp white suit and with his distinct features, Robert Ellis really stood out at the Market Square Starbucks on a Friday afternoon. It's good that he did, because it gave me an opportunity to approach him ask if he'd be interested in taking part in the series. Our conversation went something like this:
"Do you have an amp?"
"We have an AC-15 (from Empire Music!)"
"Is it air-conditioned?"
"Yep!"
"Cool, I'm in."
Robert hung out with us for four songs while a storm blew in that would eventually cancel his opening set for Richard Thompson—something I was really looking forward to catching. We used Peluso Microphone Lab's 224se on Robert's classic crooner voice and their tube ribbon TR-14 on the Vox AC15.
