   About Ellis Reed
BarbraLand Our radi-cool, super new, and as always fairly reasonably priced CD "BarbraLand" is now available from CDBaby http://www.cdbaby.com/ellisreed2/ Still Life Our somewhat supersemicool and fairly reasonably priced CD "Still Life" is now available from CDBaby http://www.cdbaby.com/ellisreed/

An interesting offering of eclectic amplified acoustic music with roots in folk influenced by rock with touches of bluegrass and a little blues. The key to the E.R. sound is to not let the technology used to deliver the content color it to the point of automatically assigning the creative effort to a default genre where tone generated by the instruments is a source to feed the post processing which could in turn become a major part of the creative process.

That is not us.

Here at Ellis Reed, the wood comes though, it is not lost in the jungle of wires that delivers the sound to you. Wood is the heart, steel is the strength, skin shouts the beat as the air delivers the melody of this Ellis Reed band.

You guys were awesome as usual last night. I have some songs on my myspace page, but I don't know if they are podcast-worthy. I'll definitely let you know when I post some more.

And for the record, you only killed a few of us, the rest are permanently maimed.

Your set was wonderful last night at The Fig. Thank you so much for playing at our songwriter series there. You knocked 'em dead... They're still dead. You murderers! You SO rock.
