About Me

Ellen is a versatile, professional guitarist and bassist, with years of experience on the stage and in the studio. She has been called an "unbelievable talent" and her music was reviewed in the March '08 issue of Guitar Player magazine. As GP editor Michael Molenda puts it, "Her plaintive acoustic tones are marvelous, and her phrasing and dynamics are, for the most part, evocative and wonderful." Feel free to send Ellen a Myspace message or an email for more information, references, and mp3 samples.

Ellen is currently involved in several projects in the Boston and Chicago music scenes:

Ben Folds Four
Mike Lombardo
Neara Russell
