   About Curtis Eller
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.

Hey there Curtis, enjoyed your show at Delicatessen. And it was nice to be able to talk to someone who knows about Uncle Dave! Don't forget to check out the great WILMER WATTS. The new Old Hat Records release has a lot of his songs on there. 

Hope to see you round here again.

Take care,
Jonathan

P.S. Thought you might like this old photo I just came across:

Hey Curtis,

yeah, I nicknamed myself after your song, but unfortunately I'm not a band. More precisely I don't even make music at all 'coz I'm too stupid to play an instrument ;)

But I love your music!

Kind regards from Germany,
Marlo
