ROBERT ELLIS

Robert Ellis makes a welcome rerun to the Windmill with a new album which layers the classic pop influences of the likes of Paul Simon and Randy Newman onto the bluegrass, country and folk sounds of his first two albums.
And, it works. His third album - The Lights From The Chemical Plant made the best-of-2014 lists in Rolling Stone, NPR, No Depression, Paste magazine to name but a few.

"equally inspired by Jackson Browne and George Jones." - New York Times

"a lithe Houston virtuoso who harkens back to the days of Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Townes van Zandt." – The Huffington Post

"An album of beautifully crafted American song and a strikingly rich croon" – Uncut 4/5

"An instinct for beautifully simple songs that will strike chord from Tennessee to Trondheim" – Mojo 4/5

JOHNNY FRITZ
Born in Montana and raised in Virginia, Jonny grew up in the middle of mountains and weirdos of every allegiance, developing a blind man's ear for the slightest turn in a tale or human voice. He dropped out of school and left home early, totally undaunted, and toured the country on his motorcycle, selling just enough music to keep his freedom and stay ahead of bitterness. "If I could sell three CDs a night, I would have enough for gas and to make it to the next town." Cramming six lifetimes into six years and collecting triumphs and heartaches every corner of the globe, he eventually wound his way toward Tennessee. "Not because I wanted to break in over on Music Row and 'make it,' because I knew I didn't really belong there," he says. "I wanted to learn the ways of country music ... to get my education in this cool old world that exists only in Nashville."
"If Hank Williams came back from the grave for a second shot at country music he would write songs like 'Have You Ever Wanted to Die'. - R2 Magazine
