Ellie Brown is an out of the box singer-songwriter and vocal stylist, also playing uke & accordion player.  Her songs stick in your head and never leave. She is utterly charming both on stage and off, with two remarkable CDs to her credit.  Her quirky and infectious songs swing to life with both whimsy and panache.  And her lyrics are words of wisdom.  It's impossible to walk away from hearing Ellie Brown without falling in love.
