   About The Ely Plains


< Photobucket/>

Not too long ago five guys were drawn together by a mutual love of the music and myths of the canyon, the cotton fields and the dustbowl, the jangle of the west coast, the buzz of the village and what some folks call Americana. With that in mind they wrote some songs mixing together the sounds and tones they love so much and so the Ely (pronounced E-lie) Plains were born.
