Ellis: Live, Original, Acoustic Concert
•Saturday, April 13th, 2013 @ 7:30pm
A native of Texas, Ellis moved to Minneapolis at the age of 16, where she quickly built a local following that blossomed into a nationwide presence – with extensive touring and seven albums released in the last sixteen years.
Described as a “whole hearted singer, songwriter, and guitarist,” Ellis writes songs that are funny, poignant, and insightful. Rather than attributing her musical style to a particular genre, her music is best described by the effect it has on her audience. Simply put, Ellis leaves listeners with softened edges and opened hearts.
Cost: $12 in advance / $15 at the door.
**Must be 13 year old or older to attend this event. Website for Ellis is http://www.ellis-music.com/news/
