Charles Ellsworth and Carl M. Banks

In the heart of the Big Apple’s bustling streets, where the echoes of folk tales merge with the harmonies of bluesy laments, two troubadours emerge from the urban sprawl, bound for the open road. Charles Ellsworth and Carl M. Banks, the modern minstrels of our time, embark on the grand journey of the “Highway Hootenanny” to bring their traveling show to the far reaches of the earth. Their guitars, weathered like old sea captains, strum tales of love, loss, and the eternal search for redemption.

With a repertoire as rich as the history lining the Eastern seaboard, Ellsworth and Banks weave original compositions with timeless classics, breathing new life into the American folk tradition. From the soul-stirring ballads of Appalachia to the Delta blues wails echoing through the swamps of the South, their music transcends time and place, inviting listeners to join them on a journey through the heart and soul of America. Guitars in hand and voices seasoned by the miles, they serenade travelers with stories of dusty highways and lost loves. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the rolling hills of the countryside, Ellsworth and Banks strike a chord that resonates with the weary souls and restless dreamers who gather ’round the campfire of their music. So, hitch a ride on the rhythm of the rails, and let Charles Ellsworth and Carl M. Banks be your guides on the winding road of the “Highway Hootenanny” where every mile traveled is a melody, and every stop a story waiting to be sung.
