DOORS: 1:30 PM
SHOW: 2:00 PM
Ellis & M.E. is Alma Muxlow, Catherine Ellis, and Bob Elkins. The trio’s creative groove comes from tight vocal and instrumental harmonies, innovative songwriting and covers that speak to our lives and times. Catherine Ellis is well known as a creative singer-songwriter and versatile master of folk, swing, bluegrass, and blues. Her previous recording credits include Counterpoint (Looking to a Future), solo (Time Again), and Carmea (Raining in Yosemite). Catherine is a powerful lead and harmony singer and plays a mean rhythm guitar.
Alma Muxlow discovered entertaining at nine with her ventriloquist doll, Danny. After Danny’s retirement, she took up singing, songwriting, mandolin, mandola, and percussion. She recorded background vocals for Catherine’s solo project, and co-produced an original project with Carmea (Raining in Yosemite).
Bob Elkins is a former rock ‘n roll turned acoustic finger-style guitarist. His music caught the attention of Catherine & Alma at the Kalamazoo House in 2016 and Bob has collaborated and performed with them since. He recorded a project of original work in 2017 (Self Portrait) and his compositions have since been played on fourteen television streaming platforms. Bob recently picked up a bass, shredded it, and swears he never played it before…we’re still fact-checking. Ellis & M.E.’s debut project is Holding Up The Moon, recorded next door with Ian Gorman at La Luna Recording and Sound.
“Ellis & M.E. are a talented trio who deliver excellent musicianship, creative instrumentals and heartfelt lyrics. They bring an authentic synergy to the stage that will leave you feeling uplifted and charmed.” - Annie Capps, Singer/Songwriter and host of On The Tracks Songwiter Showcase.
