Featured Artist of the Day: Ellen McNeill

Ellen McNeill

Indie Music Women’s Featured Artist of the Day is…

Ellen McNeill (@ellenmcneill)

Ellen McNeill is a Somerville-based singer-songwriter who captures complex and layered emotions in a stripped-down sound. Her music is a soulful blend of folk, jazz, and indie. Unapologetically intimate and vocally captivating, Ellen will transport you with her powerful vocals and delicate guitar melodies.

Ellen shared with me what it means to her personally to be an indie music woman artist: “It is to be independent of the ties and expectations that tether you to others, a beautiful free form of expression of the self for the self.”

You can listen to Ellen’s single, “A Moment in Time” on Indie Music Women’s SoundCloud Playlist.
