About Me

Listen up and listen well:
I'm currently looking for "the Fonts" so if you want to play along, message me.
If you want to book me, GREAT, because I love playing shows.
If you know how to make webpages look amazing, I'll pay you to make this page look amazing.
This is all under construction. Please check back often.
Elle and the Fonts started back in 2002, when fresh-out-of-high-school Elle decided to start making music. Having no musical experience except for a few piano lessons when she was eight, Elle started playing bass guitar for a post-punk band called Strategia, and managed quite well. Throughout the years, Elle has taken interest in many other instruments, most recently, the acoustic guitar. After teaching herself in February of 2006 how to do simple chord formations, Elle started writing songs and playing shows. Now with less then a year of guitar playing under her belt (when she wears one, they scratch her guitar and that makes her sad), Elle continues to play shows under the moniker "Elle and the Fonts." Hoping to compile a full band, she is on the prowl for like-minded musicians.
