Darryl Ellyson
It’s not often that an audience gets the opportunity to be exposed to an artist of this caliber. With a vocal quality seldom heard this day and age, his rich baritone voice easily fills the room with warm inviting tones. His exceptional song writing ability reveals life’s vulnerabilities and joys and in 2009 resulted in his being awarded “Songwriter of the Year” and the “New Horizon” award for “Best New Artist” from the Virginia Organization of Lyricists and Composers.
