Bio / Background
Ellis Reed is a 5-piece band from Philadelphia, Pa.
An offering of eclectic amplified acoustic music with roots in folk influenced by rock with touches of bluegrass and a little blues - music that deconstructs the things we are and feel into a nice 3-5 minute package of sound, soul, and thought. They combine soulful vocals with 2 and 3 part harmonies, dynamic hand percussion, driving rhythm guitar topped by an interlace of guitar, mandolin, and fiddle.
They also wear tight clothing when they play (not on purpose)
A good description of their sound would be Jefferson Airplane meets Gillian Welch with a little X, Fairport, and Norman Blake thrown into the mix.
The project Still Life was recorded over a one year period and covers the first song written by the band up to some of the most recent songs.
1 – Crossed – An Upbeat Appalachian Old Timey tune featuring old time harmony and fat flatpicking. What the Blue Sky Boys would have done if they had digital recording equipment.
