Lubbock, TX native, singer songwriter and legendary musical figure Joe Ely got his start in the early ‘70s. Soon, Ely stood as a representation of artists writing their own songs, producing their own records and recording with their own band while serving as the antithesis of the Nashville establishment. He’s been on an invigorating journey over the past year, releasing two studio recordings and teaming up with local accordion master Joel Guzman. Last month, Ely and Guzman performed live for KUT in the famed Studio 6A of Austin City Limits. Don’t miss this special edition of Eklektikos Live featuring the duo of Joe Ely and Joel Guzman with host John Aielli on KUT.
