Evolve or Die
Los Angeles-based chanteuse Tawny Ellis: nomadic by design, an angelic and kick-ass songstress, inspired by Michelangelo and David Bowie by way of Ernest Hemingway. A potent brew of Patsy Cline, The Pretenders and Neil Young, Ellis has accrued a legion of fans, all seduced by the dynamic live show and that irresistibly gorgeous voice. Born in Savannah, Georgia, the captivating singer-songwriter now divides her time between Los Angeles and New Orleans - a split reflected in her music, which has always blended a blast of west coast freshness with some soulful bayou depth. Ellis's forthcoming album "Evolve or Die", a departure from her last album "Shelter", calls up her Americana roots and even leans a bit country. Ellis's voice is a perfect fit for this sound, and is reminiscent of artists like Pasty Cline and Peggy Lee. It's a pure, pitch-perfect voice that can quiver and twang, soaring to delicate heights, swooping to a rich, guttural fullness: what holds it all together is always Ellis's heart-wrenching presence at the emotional center of the song. Both in live performance and on the album, Ellis works with her long-time writing partner, musical director and multi-instrumentalist, the respected musician's musician and craftsman Giovanni Loria.
