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’ 💛

Goodnight all, hope you have a beautiful weekend❤️️️

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?

Ok guys, my ‘Christmas song’ is finally out: it’s a murder ballad, and it’s on the banjo. You’re welcome. Link in bio 🧡

‘Shotgun Sadie’ is the first track I’ve put out with a banjo base, and I’m DYING for you to hear it. I built this little 5 string banjo over summer and recorded on it, with the badass backing of our local beer-grass group ‘The False Bottom Band’ (my only musical solace since quarantine, formed this spring at @hopdogma).

If you have a minute give it a stream or a share, and thanks always for your support 🧡

Recorded and produced by the wonderful @andrewheringer. Cover photo by @fabrifuckincation

Digging up some old tunes from my years living in

Digging up some old tunes from my years living in Scotland, where I studied harp at university.

I’d forgotten this one for a good few years but heard a recording last night and it came rushing back. Sometimes when relearning music, I find it’s easier to look away and trust the deeply ingrained patterns in my fingers then to break it down and try to remember the structure. Despite my best intentions, if I focus too much I start to second guess myself and make mistakes. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere...

Anyway this one is called ‘The Rectory Reel’ written by piper Patrick Davey. Happy Sunday <3

New York City, 2018 at a quintessential little music room called The Bitter End in Greenwich Village.

Musicians base our lives around connection. Striving always for the magic when a space, the music and the listeners all line up in some unquantifiable way. Though dormant with COVID, that drive never leaves. One of these days, I will chase the magic again.

For now I’ll focus on what I can: will be doing a little live stream in the next few days, keep an eye out for notifications. And happy Sunday 🖤 Photo by @bornwarm at @thebitterendnyc
