Welcome!

Summer is here in the Rockies—sunshine, hail, rain, snow, wind, wilting heat—gorgeous days in a beautiful part of a beautiful planet.  There is so much to be concerned about these days, and I am humbled and grateful to be reminded of the generosity, power and integrity of nature.  Can hardly wait to see what’s next....

My new CD, Shifting Sand, is done and available.  In response to many requests, this is a mainly solo and live recording with an intimate, living room feel.  This album features eight new songs and three new versions of some of my old favorites, and I’m happy to be sending more of my children out into the world.  Check out the Music and Order pages for more information.

I hope you are well and enjoying the journey...finding time for music, friends, nature and whatever else brings you joy. Have a lovely summer and I hope our paths cross before long.

Peace and cheers,

Ellen

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. 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.

Lifelong interests in the environment, social justice and peace infuse her music, writing and art work. Ellen also works in the field of conflict resolution, where she finds music can open the door to finding common ground.
