Ellery Stimulus

It’s our most ambitious project to date.

This past summer, we recorded a new full-length album with Grammy-winning producer Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Kaki King, Ryan Adams, etc). We laughed, we cried. We played an old piano, loud guitars, sang falsetto, laughed at each other. We documented the progress via our blog and on Flickr.

And it’s all done. Mixed, mastered, read to go. This will be in your hands and ears soon.

And we couldn’t have done it without you; The Ellery Stimulus

The Ellery Stimulus is now closed - you’ve given cash, procured tickets, house shows, even got our touring piano (it’s coming soon Steven!). You’ve brought this record, these songs to life. The release date is coming soon, and we’ll continue to take pre-orders up until then.
Our deepest thanks and love to you.

Ellery’s touring keyboard! This Yamaha P-120 has been with us since 2005. It’s seen all four corners of the US, innumerable stages, dozens of radio stations, and many a hotel room. We’ve shared it with several fine piano-playing artists, including Vienna Teng and Lucy Kaplansky, and it’s graced us with several hundred Ellery shows. It has a wealth of sentimental value to us; an emotional offering! We would love for you to have it with a small promise of love and care.

• $50 Gift Card to iTunes PLUS an Ellery Studio Photo Album/Scrapbook (see above)

* If you’re unable to use your tickets to a release show, let us know. We’ll replace them with two tickets to the next Ellery show in your area!

** House Concerts and Private Concerts: It’s up to you, but we’d love if you’d make your private concert open at least to your friends, family, coworkers, etc. We want to connect with folks from your world.
