Ellen Angelico is an in-demand session musician in Nashville, Tennessee. The Nashville Scene calls Ellen an "ace of all things stringed" and "one of the greatest utility players in Nashville." She plays guitar, bass, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, dobro, keys, and trombone everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to Guam.
When she is not backing up a variety of talented acts (Cam, Mickey Guyton, Brandy Clark, Uncle Kracker, Delta Rae, Molly Tuttle, Wheeler Walker Jr., and many others) Ellen creates video content for way-cool stringed instrument manufacturer Eastwood Guitars. She pens a quarterly column for Premier Guitar, produced an award-winning narrative podcast called Girl in a Hurry: the Shelly Bush Story, and releases original music once in a blue moon under the moniker Uncle Ellen.
Ellen regularly volunteers with organizations like the Amqui Station Farmers Market, Nashville Launch Pad, and Association of Horizon, and she proudly serves on the Hearing Board of the Nashville Musicians Association, AFM Local 257. She hopes to leave the music industry better than she received it.
