10.20.11 - It's A Neighborly Christmas!
It's getting cold outside, which means it's time to put on your mittens and order tickets to our 5th Annual Neighborly Christmas Tour! (OK, maybe leave out the mittens so you can click on the ticket links below...hand warmers would do the trick.) We can't wait to play these holiday classics alongside our regular songs for you. We will headline five shows and we will also be going out for two weeks with Jars of Clay. We are playing some fantastic venues, and this is going to be a really fun month of shows and we hope you will make plans to come. Kick off your holiday right and get your tickets today...they're sure to go fast! These shows have sold out the last few times, so make sure and get your tickets in advance!
Can't wait to see you on the road. - Ellie
09.20.11 - "Live Forever" Music Video
Take Courage.
Live Forever is my favorite song I have ever written. Its a song of joy, a song of sorrow, a song of longing, a song of journeying. I wrote it as a letter to my neices and nephew, who stole my heart a long time ago. I wrote it from the purest part of my soul, without a single thought to its commercial viability or whether or not my fans would like it. I wrote it for them, and for me. I wrote it at a time over 2 years ago when I thought my career as a touring musician was coming to a close, which I was obviously dead wrong about. It's ironic to me how this song, written from that place in my heart, has become the most downloaded, most requested, most used on TV shows, and our most popular song on tour. I have been honored by many people's stories of how this song has touched their lives. A mother who heard it on Parenthood and wrote me how she made it her anthem for her newborn son. Numerous friends and emails and letters of the song bringing comfort in a time of loss. We hear weekly and sometimes daily of the way this song has reached into some part of people's stories. This is the height of success for me as a songwriter. I could not be more honored.
I have always wanted to make a music video for this song, but found it difficult to put on film the emotion the song has for me. I finally decided that the only way to do it was to incorporate my family, the very ones I wrote the song for. We gathered in Memphis, my hometown, to film us doing what we love; laughing, eating, and enjoying each other's company in places where we have a deep history. The Hi Tone Cafe. Central BBQ. My Uncle's Farm, and my Great Grandfathers 1942 Jeep, still in my father's possession. My neices and nephew steal the show
with their innocence, their joy, and their courage.
Thank you for watching.

What an incredible Spring it has been. Thanks to you our fans, our album debuted at #7 on overall Album Chart on iTunes, we had sold out shows all over the South, got to tour with Marc Broussard and his wonderful band, opened for the Goo Goo Dolls on a beautiful night on campus at Ole Miss, had our songs on Deadliest Catch, Brothers and Sisters, and Justified, and garnered incredible reviews on the new album. We could not have done this without you all. We are excited about the rest of the year, more videos, more touring, more new music. See you back on the road!

Today is my 30th birthday. The sky is bluer in your 30's. And I swam in the Panama Canal.
