This singer 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 this woman is an artist that so convincingly captures the nostalgic feeling derived from various influences from Etta James to Joan Jett. ELR's songs make it obvious that Esther's visceral experience and poignant world view is one we can not only enjoy but also relate to. The Rotten's each bring their own flavor to the table. Combining Guitarists-Brad Tretola & Brad Rawson's rock backgrounds wiith Bassist, Aaron Davis's obvious affinity for Punk and Drummer, Tom Z's vicious tom hits creates a mastermind of energetic harmony that challenges understanding. This collaboration coupled with Esther's raw piano songwriting brought all the colors, which have solidified the threads that make up what is ELR's unique style of pop-rock-soul & punk. 2009 has brought with it the success not only of shows all over Austin, Dallas, Houston but also the planning stages of a National Fall tour, two Music Video productions, and the newest and first full album "Bad Apples" produced by RIAA Award winning producer Del of Del Productions Inc.
