For over three decades Ellen has been writing songs and entertaining audiences at clubs, concerts and festivals around the country. Her rich and unpretentious voice (about which actor Tim Curry once exclaimed, "A DAMN fine set of pipes!") and her insightful, honest and well crafted songs come from and go right to the heart.

A lifelong interest in issues of the environment, social justice and peace led her to her work in the field of conflict resolution, where she finds music will often open the door to finding common ground.

Whether in a living room or a large concert hall, Ellen creates an atmosphere of intimacy and warmth and allows folks to just enjoy being themselves. Not afraid to let her inner fool show, her stories and songs will leave you laughing and changed.
