Can you tell Lobster doesn’t like photoshoots?

In other news, just added these dreamy linen bandanas I’ve been making to my online store (link in bio). Will also be popping up with them and some other recent makes next Sunday, 4.25 at @thebarnhmb from 11-4, joining some other great local artists ❤

Happy weekend everyone!

Sewed my little banjo a leather case, shoved a few essentials in the spaces surrounding and hopped on a very cheap flight to Oahu for the week :)

Made a quick YouTube video with details on sewing the case, my first attempt at (hopefully) better documenting my creations.

If you get a minute to check it out let me know what you think! Link in bio, or look up EllaHarp on YouTube to find my channel. Aloha <3

‘Sparks’ from Coldplay’s Parachutes album 💙 It’s such a beautiful tune, holding the precise levels of melancholic vagueness that inexplicably make my heart happy.

I got the opportunity to record a proper cover of this song with @weareinstrumental and it just went live all places you stream music.

It’s just harp vibes and harmony, but it came out really cool within the soundscape and had fun recording it down in LA with @andrewheringer a few weeks back.

I have finally gathered the requisite lady balls to make the linen duster coat of my design brain dreams and it is GLORIOUS.

Based on my self-drafted work dress pattern (wearing a recent iteration in blue here) with adjustments for length, and added a collar and lapel for the open front.

I’ve made some little copper buttons that I plan on adding for closure but I’m lazy and it’s kind of nice as is. Feels flowy and a bit like floating :)

What captures your current creativity?

Happy Friday friends, have the most beautiful weekend ❤

Hard to believe it’s been a year since playing music for actual people was a thing.

Super grateful to have played the Noise Pop fest in Feb 2020 just days before gatherings began to be limited in SF and the world started shutting down rapidly.

Happy Sunday everyone, hope to play live for you all one day 💙

So ‘Shotgun Sadie’ was the most added folk song to college + community radio in the country last week?!

Top of the @naccchart folk adds and can’t believe it, keep an ear out on your local stations!

Plus a few press write ups since release, thanks #forfolkssake @weallwantsomeone @music_mecca @livinglifefearless @abortmag and extra love to @twinvisionmusic for pushing the single.

And thanks for listening to ‘Shotgun Sadie’! It’s up on your favorite streaming service if you haven’t, happy Sunday friends ❤

*New music* One year ago I crashed, rolled, and totaled my truck.

I was driving back from recording in LA at 1am when my truck lost control, fishtailed and hit a blockade at 70mph.

Rolled (once? twice?), landed sideways in the road and was quickly struck by another car as I tried to reorient and get out.

I narrowly succeed yanking my foot out as it was pulled under in the impact, barely freed from my left boot which stayed trapped under the weight of the truck until it was pulled upright.

I kicked out the windshield and ran in my one shoe with hardly a scratch to show for it. I’ve had some fear of freeways and problems with my hip ever since, but the miracle of being neither incapacitated nor dead is not lost on me.

Both instruments also survived, and in the days following I sat for a long time on an overcast, windy beach with my first-built (nylon strung fretless) banjo and wrote this song.

‘Black Road’ was the first creativity of my new life lease, a stream of consciousness in the wake of shock, survivor’s guilt and fear.

I’m glad to be sharing it with you (link in bio), and to be here at all. Next week I will drive the same road, back to LA to record again; full circle.

If you enjoy the music and want to help make more of it, you can Venmo or PayPal even the smallest amount to ellaharp@yahoo.com, check out my online store, or buy, stream, or share this or any of my tracks.

Regardless, your good thoughts, comments and messages are always appreciated. Thank you for following and listening, your support means the world <3

Generally speaking, I feel like dresses are too fa

Generally speaking, I feel like dresses are too fancy for my messy style of everyday work wear.

Which bugs me because I love them, so I dug deeper into my reasoning and concluded it’s mostly a pockets + utility issue, combined with the notion that ‘I shouldn’t mess this nice thing up’.

So. I’ve been focusing on dedicated ‘work dresses’ recently, designing with utility in mind:

*intended for layers (I mostly wear this one over jeans, or make sleeveless, apron style types for over shirts/sweaters)

*littered with pockets (emphasis on the overall-status double chest pockets, decidedly useful for my jewelry making/stashing of small items)

*are made with the express intent of actually being worn.

Will they get ‘ruined’? Probably. But you know what, that’s the point here, and I seem to like my beat up clothing a hell of a lot better than the fancies anyway.

I guess sometimes we just need to give ourselves permission to wreck the ‘nice’ shit, and this is it granted 🤍

An old Gaelic song from my days studying harp/Gài

An old Gaelic song from my days studying harp/Gàidhlig at uni in Scotland.

It’s a miserable sort, as most Gaelic songs are, called ‘Taighean Geala’ (meaning ‘white houses’) about a woman lamenting marriage to a man who lied gravely about her future life with him.

He promised her white gabled houses, but upon arriving by boat and far away from her family, she finds he has only a small shack to live in with his two sisters.

Taught to me by the lovely Mairi MacInnes. Happy Sunday, friends 💙

A little ditty that wrote itself tonight...

A love song which is unusual for me, about one of my favorite flowers and one of my favorite people. Called ‘Sunflower’ 💛

Been meaning to do an intro post since I hit 30K f

Been meaning to do an intro post since I hit 30K followers but procrastinated so long now it’s 35K so...better late than never?!

Hi I’m Ella / EllaHarp :) I’m a full time musician + creative in the SF Bay Area hustling to make a name for myself writing songs on harp, banjo, and trying to get better at piano.

I am obsessed with design and making things. A good few years ago I decided that if I could (realistically) make something, I wouldn’t buy it.
Hell of a rabbit hole, but I now make all my own shirts, jackets, skirts/dresses, knitwear, leatherwork, jewelry, you name it.

I don’t make jeans or boots (yet) but I do make my musical instruments and also underwear (laugh away, but when you can make a pair in 8 minutes for 50 cents instead of doing laundry or going shopping it’s a real game changer).

Spent 4 years at uni in Scotland, am semi fluent in Scottish Gaelic and built a 120 sq ft house on a trailer where I lived for 5 years to make my creative lifestyle work in expensive California.

My passion is getting the music to more ears, and inspiring people to get making things and let their creative minds find ways to solve problems, however small.

Anyway, thanks for reading and being here. Grateful to have you on this journey with me! To everyone who listens and follows, you mean the world <3

What creativities fuel your passion?
