In 1975, David Tamulevich, Michael Hough, and Libby Glover formed a musical trio they named Mustard’s Retreat. Libby soon bowed out, but David and Michael soldiered on and for decades have been entertaining audiences with their special brand of folk music. Some years ago Libby rejoined and then Michael retired, leaving David and Libby to carry on. For this, their 50-year anniversary, all three have reconvened for a limited run of concerts, the final one happening here at MAMA’s Coffeehouse.

Highly acclaimed as not only songwriters, but as interpreters of traditional and contemporary songs and stories, their show is full of enthusiasm, good humor, and fine musicianship. Their performances are always joyful and uplifting as well as intelligent, thought-provoking, and insightful.

“Music to cure what ails you.” – Michigan Times

Ellis & M.E. is a trio passionate about their acoustic music. Their groove comes from a creative blend of wood and strings, innovative songwriting, tight vocal harmonies, and covers that speak to our lives and times.
