  • Bio

    .. ......Curtis Eller...... is New York City's angriest yodeling banjo player. He sings about pigeon racing, performing elephants and Jesus, all of which he has seen with his own eyes. He started his show-business career at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat in the Hiller Olde Tyme Circus in Detroit, but has since turned to the banjo because that's where the money is. His biggest musical influences are Buster Keaton, Elvis Presley and Abraham Lincoln. .... On the lastest American Circus CD ....Wirewalkers & Assassins.... Mr. Eller presents 10 songs about John Wilkes Booth, Joe Louis, Jack Ruby, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and the Hartford circus fire of 1944 (as well as the usual references to Elvis Presley and various Civil War generals). As always, sporadic yodeling and some strong language should be expected. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ..................Wirewalkers & Assassins........Curtis Eller.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download..   ..Share........ ..................Taking Up Serpents Again........Curtis Eller.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download..   ..Share........ ..................Banjo Music for Funerals (EP)........Curtis Eller.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download..   ..Share.......... ..FOR BOOKING CONTACT:.... ..curtis(at)curtiseller.com...... ..CURTIS ELLER ON FACEBOOK:.... ..facebook.com/curtisellerbanjo...... ..CURTIS ELLER ON TWITTER:.... ..twitter.com/curtiseller...... ..CURTIS ELLER ON BANDCAMP:.... ..curtiseller.bandcamp.com...... ..Visit the official website to learn more:.... ....www.curtiseller.com.... ....

    Hey Curtis!  I'm not sure if you remember me but you played in Modesto at a hookah lounge called Fez.  I was the promoter there at the time.  I'm in Portland now and I definitely want to go check out your show next month!  I hope all is well!

    It'd be great if you could play a show in Seattle that wasn't at the steampunk thing

    How about stopping by Oslo or Bergen, or at least somwhere that could be defined as a city, and give a little show while you´re in Norway? Would be much appreciated!
