Customer Reviews:
powerful, emotional combination of talent.......2005-06-12
It doesn't surprise me that there is only one copy left in stock while i write this... TATB combines ellis' energy, passions, and an impressive display of her maturing talents as an artist. For anyone who's ever felt alone, in love, misunderstood, reflective, or just needed someone to understand them... ellis writes from the heart and every song speaks to the listener. Her honest, folk acoustic sound that speaks to the fans in a voice that is truly her own...
An incredible independent artist who bubbles on stage..........2004-03-09
I met Ellis this past weekend (3/6/04) at an intimate house concert she gave in Sacramento, CA with two other independent artists (irina rivkin and kym tuvim - who are equally amazing).
This was the first time I'd been to a house concert, and this one was sponsored by a lesbian couple who are friends with the artists. Being an intimate setting, allowed the performers to really connect with the audience, and share with us some very personal life experiences through song and spoken word.
Ellis is in a few words, simply amazing. Aside from her music, which speaks from the heart, her personality absolutely bubbles over her guitar onto the audience. She laughs between lyrics (on songs which are funny - of which there are many that are laugh out loud kind of funny), and during songs which are very touching, you can see the emotion in her face as she plays and sings.
Her new CD, which is a live album, and was put together with the help of some of her fans (she held a contest on her website: http://www.ellis-music.com/), will be released soon, and you can pre-order signed copies from her site. Included on that album will be "Grace" which is a powerfully emotional song, where Ellis describes some inner turmoil and learnings she has gained.
This CD, which I purchased at the house event, has now become a permanent resident in my player. Each of her songs is unique in word and music, and each one tells a very interesting story about life events she's experienced.
Unlike many other indy artists, she doesn't lean too far into the political commentary which might turn some people off, but does speak of the world, and the reality we live in.
If you have the opportunity to see her live, the experience will be well worth it. She's so personable, easy to talk to and laugh with, and has a genuine love for her fans. And not to mention that she's absolutely beautiful... :-)
Enjoy!
Singing Ellis.......2004-01-03
She glistens with the excited fervor that musicians exude when they tell a story of their latest inspirations. Ms. B. is no different when she rocks back and forth at the mic pouring out the experience of a young woman learning to enjoy the moment.
She is alive in this moment, sharing her views of freedom post 9.11, of the love that "got away" or did it?, of the process of living right now.
Her guitar playing is impressive and fun. Her demeanor is gracious and inviting...kinda like she just rolled out the rug for your company and she has a tune she can play for you.
Listen, then go see her perform. She has an infectious stage personality. It's good for us working stiffs to see someone doing what they love, someone filled with the light of their craft...
