Charles Ellsworth, Francis Co, and Ruby Greenberg Live Concert

Join us for a night of heartfelt songwriting and rich storytelling as we welcome Charles Ellsworth, visiting from New York on tour. He’ll be joined by Francis Co and Ruby Greenberg, each bringing their own unique blend of folk, Americana, and indie influences.

Charles Ellsworth

NYC singer-songwriter Charles Ellsworth is releasing his much anticipated 5th album “Cosmic Cannon Fodder” on Burro Borracho Records in May 2025. “Cosmic Cannon Fodder’ leads the listener on a lyrical journey of resilience while exploring the nuance of finding one’s own purpose as a member of the working class in modern america. Featuring Ellsworth’s refined alt-country sound as well as his signature unbridled and seasoned storytelling at the forefront, the eleven song album weaves characters and stories that reach across the emotional spectrum.. His genuine perspective and fearless search for truth leaves nothing hidden on this upcoming collection of Americana gold.

Francis Co

Merging the story telling quality of country, the beauty and tragedy of folk, and an experimental improvisational energy in his live performances, Francis Co. is a songwriter and performer that is constantly pushing the limits of where his songs can go. Often hard to categorize, his music has been called Mex-Americana, latin emo folk, and recently quinceañera surf punk. But there is only one label that is true of all his music, honest. Delivering the true stories of life in Orange County with a smooth baritone swagger, Francis Co. is a real modern-day troubadour. Perhaps the only thing Francis is more passionate about than crafting his sound is his desire to build and connect the music community in Orange County. You can always find him organizing events and promoting live music while supporting his fellow musicians.

Ruby Greenberg

with Prawit Siriwat on guitar and Daniel Durst on bass

Ruby is a Colorado-born singer, songwriter, and musician. Raised in a musical family who often
gathered to write songs or sing in three part harmony, she learned to read music at an early
age. While immersed in piano, guitar, and clarinet lessons, she eventually found her true
instrument in her voice. Ruby sang through her teen years with local bands and vocal groups,
gaining formative experiences with harmony and arrangement while performing on Colorado
stages and regional festivals. She later moved to New York to study at The New School for Jazz
in Greenwich Village. While earning her degree in Jazz Performance and Improvisation, Ruby
also found a passion for contemporary voice technique. Ruby developed an expertise in vocal
coaching, emphasizing the connection between classical technique with mind, body, and vocal
wellbeing. She practices this holistic approach in lessons with her private students and in her
own music. With her own band or on backup vocals with pop and R&B artists, Ruby performed
at venues in NY such as The Bitter End, Bowery Electric, 55 Bar, and Rockwood Music Hall.

After ten years on the bandstand in NYC, Ruby eventually moved to Southern California to
focus on songwriting. Returning to her acoustic roots and drawing inspiration from the
songwriting giants of 70s Laurel Canyon, Ruby’s work as a solo artist reflects her deep love of
folk and Americana. She performs throughout the Orange County and San Diego live music
circuit. Ruby has released five singles of her original music and is currently recording a new EP.
