It’s a little hard to find words to adequately describe Ellis‘ CD release concert last night. The open-hearted joy passing back and forth between Ellis and the audience was palpable. Her unbelievably beautiful music, with her strong, clear, gorgeous voice, perfectly balanced accompaniment, and soul-stirring lyrics bewitched us and transported us to some new level of joyful in-the-moment living. What a treat to watch her and Rad playing together and having so much fun as they created a new kind of magic. Every song was amazing in its own way and Ellis’ stories made us laugh and cry and whoop and holler with glee. And OMG the Desdemona-Ellis-Nina Simone folk rap mashup! O. M. G. No words – you just had to be there. 😀 The night was made even better for me, by getting to share it with people I adore! So many fun moments of shared joy and love.  It was an incredible night and I am profoundly grateful for having been part of it.

Sunshiny Sundays.

Naps. 😉
