Ellis Ayres

Julie was an amazing host for her 60th birthday party. Everyone there was so helpful in getting me in and out and set up. There was a lot of smiles and laughter in the crowd, and I could hear a lot of people joined in singing with me. There were several request's and it was a great success that I knew most of them. Thank you Julie and to everyone that came to her birthday party!

What to expect

Good clean acoustic & vocal... anyone can sit on a stool, play the guitar & sing.... I "feel" the crowd and bring it from my heart. You will love my music, style & know you have not "just" been entertained!
