someone took a whole lot of happy, with a touch of rage, ran it through a heart factory, let it sit for twenty some odd years in a dark valley and then gave it a guitar. hope hope and a little bit of hopelessness. you know, the magic that happens.
With a catchy blend of Acoustic Soul and Americana Rhythm, Oregon born Tristan Ellingsworth sings his way straight in to the back of your mind. Ellingsworth's sound is saturated with the kind of soul that makes you furrow your brow and tap your feet.
Coming fresh from the Pacific Northwest's vibrant Americana-Rock scene, Ellingsworth gives the feel of being committed to providing listeners with the kind of music that flourishes in live venues and never lets you forget the simplistic comfort that lies in a well sung harmony.
