ELR Esther LaVonne & The Rottens

About Me

Esther LaVonne knew what she was put here to do before most learn to tie their shoes. In today's musical climate of fast beats, formulaic riffs, and whim driven lyrics an artist that so convincingly captures the nostalgic feeling derived from various influences like Etta James and Joan Jett and is simultaneously driven by a fabric more of an ode to artists like Pink and Katy Perry. ELR's songs make it obvious that Esther's visceral experience and poignant world view is one we can all relate to! The Rotten's each bring their own flavor to the table. Guitarist-Matt Bier's classic rock background; Bassist, James Degelia's obvious affinity for funk; & Drummer, Marc Coronado, vicious tom hits all work together in a harmony that challenges understanding, but it works, and it works magnificently! This collaboration coupled with Esther LaVonne's raw piano songwriting brought all the colors, which have solidified, into the threads that make up what is ELR's unique style of pop-rock-soul & punk. The last year has brought with it the success not only of shows all over Austin and Dallas, but the planning stages of a National Fall tour and two Music Video productions, are well underway! The newest and first full album "Bad Apples" was just released, produced by RIAA Award winning producer Del of Del Productions Inc.!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!!
