SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
contact me at ellenellensentertainment.
I'm looking to join a local band. I would prefer variety music including classic rock and maybe a little folk music. I also enjoy Irish music. I'm a singer/songwriter, backup singer, or in some styles I could be a lead singer. I'm good at harmony. Regardless of your music style, I'm interested in networking within the local music scene.
I've been an children's for 27 years. I play the ukulele and keyboard a little, and have a good singing range. I perform music and comedy shows for community, school, family, and business events and would be thrilled to expand my repertoire.

Something Right
Something Right Year: 2010 Genre: Alternative
This song is a little hard to classify. This is way outside of my usual songwriting genre. Normally I write family comedy.

Monster NIghts are Sweet
Monster NIghts are Sweet Year: 2011
This is a children and family comedy song about monsters having a wild night on the town. I have plans to re-record and re-mix this, but this is how it is right now.
