Description
"Ellis continues to win fans with her unique brand of honest, gritty folk music. Borrowing from country, soul and roots-rock influences, the 25-year-old with an old sould plays with an unbridled openness that gives her music a quality as honest as some of her lyrics."
-Long Beach Press-Telegram
"Her success as a musician is evident, her success as a performer is proven, and her success with the larger audiences of the world is only a matter of time. We knew you when, girl!"
-TechnoDyke.com
Ellis' unpretentious style and charismatic laugh were first showcased on her 1996 CD "Soft Day". "Soft Day" presents Ellis' wonderfully simple and direct songs, including fan faves "I Don't Know" and "See Clearly".
Since the release of "Soft Day", Ellis has become well known at coffeehouses and colleges throughout the Upper Midwest since then, as she maintained a steady schedule of shows, both on her own and as lead singer and songwriter of six-piece rock/funk band Bobby Llama. In 1998 she released "Blueprint Live," a live follow-up to "Soft Day". In 2000, the members of Bobby Llama parted ways, allowing Ellis to focus on her solo career as a guitar-toting road-ready singer-songwriter.
Ellis now has a total of six full-length CDs her credit, four solo and two with her former band Bobby Llama (voted Best Unsigned Band in America in 2000). Ellis runs her own indie record company, and recently coordinated an all-benefit compilation CD of women's voices for peace (www.peacecd.com). She has independently sold more than 20,000 copies of her albums and has a mailing list of thousands across the US.
In Ellis' own words: "I write music because I believe in the power of songs. I believe they can move people on a personal level. Writing songs helps me hold onto moments in my own life that I might have otherwise forgotten."
