Ellis

A quote from the review, "Possessed of an infectious laugh, which on first hearing may take you aback, her between songs links are half ‘oh my gosh’ goofy, half crystal clear personal convictions." Thanks Arthur Wood! :)

I am so happy to introduce to you the new and improved Ellis Member Community! :) I’ll be recording weekly video messages to you, daily chatting through the forum, and making regular additions of new songs for you to download. Join today for a $1 trial membership! I'll see you over there!

I am so so excited! I am honored and thrilled to be back on A Prairie Home Companion today. If you're visiting this site because you heard me there, first of all, THANK YOU!!

I was born and raised in Texas, and I've been wanting a reason to go to Kerrville. So, this spring I applied to the Kerrville New Folk Contest, and I got in! I'll be there Memorial Day weekend!

Talk about a comeback: Twin Cities folk mainstay Ellis took time off to spend with her daughter, Ruby, and on her return she faced a few million listeners at a well-received “A Prairie Home Companion” appearance in February. That made a nice set-up for her new live collection, “Wherever You Are,” featuring 18 songs on two CDs recorded over two sets in one night at White Bear Lake Unitarian Universalist Church, plus a third disc of the same show minus the stage banter. The Texas-reared balladeer’s divine voice shines in the holy setting, and the approach provides a greatest-hits overview of her growing canon of passionate, personal songs. (Chris Riemenschneider)

Ellis is offering a free download of the song, "I belong here next to you". She is asking folks who are interested in marriage equality to consider a donation to Minnesota United for All Families. Thank you!
