About Me

ellen cherry is a singer, songwriter, musician, designer, artist, producer, recording engineer, and human.

Once a character in a novel, ellen cherry sprung from the pages of a book in 1997, and began her life as a living, breathing, dynamic performer. Mixing equal parts of pathos and humor throughout her songs, ellen cherry is mysterious and powerful on stage. She seamlessly fuses her love of History, Poetry, and Literature with the Usual Suspects of Love, Loss, and Despair, with a powerful, commanding voice and a command of Power Chords on her guitar.

An artist incapable of stopping the process of creation, ellen cherry has recorded and released original music continuously since 1997. Her style has been described as “spunky downer pop for History buffs” and, yes, she is over 5’10” tall!

In 2008, ellen cherry assembled a 5 piece Rock and Roll band to promote her newest disc of original music, heart like a lion. She created twelve tracks that range in genre from lo-fi indie rock to wistful clever love songs to the odd instrumental.
