Ellis' News
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! :) | Aug 26, 2013 |
Ellis had a great time on the main stage of the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival last weekend.
Here are some photos taken by the talented Neale Eckstein, and a wonderful preview article about Ellis, Mary Gauthier, and Shane Koyczan. Mary is a brilliant songwriter and Shane is a powerful spoken word artist. | Aug 22, 2013 |

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! | Apr 20, 2013 |

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.
