Love Songs- old and new are her favorite things to both write and sing about. In general- she chooses “songs that are feel good music”- a shout out to her beloved native town New Orleans. Ellie’s vocals- at first- when asked to describe- one will say- “beautiful” - second might come “sweet” and if one continues to listen... they will say... “sassy” but listeners will always include words like “soulful” and "soothing".

Jagged Lines is a rock ‘n’ roll band from San Diego, CA. Heavily influenced by garage rock, blues, post-hardcore, punk rock, metal, and indie rock, the band’s sound is marked by aggressive riff rock, energetic dynamics, and some brooding dark passages in between. The band is a trio composed of singer/songwriter/guitarist Dre Carrera, bassist Jared Haines, and drummer William Schattner. The band formed in October of 2010 with the intention of crafting pensive but aggressive rock music that “burned like whiskey but stung like a switchblade,” the kind of music that delivers on the promise of a great rock record. The band released its full-length debut LP entitled Free Yourself To Pieces in March of 2014 and was signed to From the Depths Entertainment later that year in October. They have performed and booked shows from Anaheim to Las Vegas to San Francisco, regularly performing at such notable venues as the House of Blues, the Casbah, the Viper Room, and the Double Down Saloon.
