Some days I just want to play harp on a cliff to my dog. #musiciansofinstagram #harp #beach #bluffs #fallsunshine #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #coast #singersongwriter #gooutside #filteredlight #fall #photography #sfmusicscene #adognamedlobster #sunset

Windy banjo on the bluffs today. Not that good for sound quality but it does some real acrobatics with my hair 😂 Cover of my favorite @gillianwelchofficial song, Annabelle. #gillianwelch #annabelle #beach #bluffs #songoftheday #banjo #clawhammerbanjo #clawhammer #oldtimebanjo #girlswhoplayguitar #banjolele #5stringbanjo #musica #musicislife #singersongwriter #instagood #musiciansofinstagram #california #wind #halfmoonbay

Guys I’m playing @theseattlehempfest! Catch me tomorrow with my little harp and banjo, Sunday 10.11 at 6pm PST. Online because 2020, but that just means those of you far away can still watch :) (Swipe for Hempfest vibe in typical years).

I’ll be playing one of my upcoming singles, ‘Shotgun Sadie’ on the banjo, and everyone needs more female led murder ballads (..?) so stop by if you have a chance! Link in bio <3

8 years ago I moved to this slice of heaven with my 120sq foot tiny house I’d spent the last 13 months building. I’ve lived a few other (and varying degrees of bigger) places since I moved out of my cute little shoebox a few years ago, but forever held by my tiny roots <3 photo by @casscleave #tinyhouse #tinyhouses #tinyhousemovement #minimalism #harpsofinstagram #harpist #harplife #oceanview #musiciansofinstagram #minimalist #build #create #diy #photgraphy #nature #horses #builder #girlpower #builditandtheywillcome #anniversary #tinyhouse #growth #perseverance #resilience

Cloudy days = rosy fabric and messy floors. 2020 spins my creative mind in loops, full on motivation one moment and complete lack of the next. Working to hone in on simple projects that make the days feel brighter as fall creeps in. What are you working on? Or would like to start? How’s your creativity doing?

GUYS MY MUSIC IS ON A NETFLIX SHOW. Check out episode 2 of Emily In Paris (up today) to hear my song ‘Time’, super surreal!

Also funny because it’s playing in the background during a breakup scene that nearly mirrors how I got dumped in college after I moved to Scotland 😂 #singersongwriter #musiciansofinstagram #music #newmusic #musician #musiclicensing #musiclife #emilyinparis #netflix #synclicensing #synclife #harpist #harplife #musicindustry #musicsupervisor #musicdiscovery

‘Late Summer’ is live on streaming sites, bio link to listen or a share if you have a minute <3

This one is near and dear to my heart, written at the beginning of the end of a long relationship that spanned critical sections of my life and ended one year ago. It was mutual and for the best, but one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.

Photo by Zac himself.

That’s Elvis. On sax is my grandfather, Bill Uly

That’s Elvis. On sax is my grandfather, Bill Ulyate who worked as a studio musician for 20th Century Fox in the 50’s-60’s. He also had a dance band with his brother, trombonist Lloyd Ulyate, called the Elliott Brother’s Orchestra (Ulyate is hard to pronounce, hence ‘Elliott’. The band also played at Disneyland, hired by Walt himself, as the house band for Date Nite At Disneyland, Friday and Saturday nights in the Carnation Plaza).⠀
⠀
Elvis made 3 movies with Fox between 1956-61. Not sure which one this was, but they hired Bill’s band to play the wrap party. Elvis jumped on the drums, and someone took a photo. I’m so glad they did, Grandpa Bill died before I was born and grateful to have photos like these ❤️⠀

Eerie dark orange skies, very strange week in Cali

Eerie dark orange skies, very strange week in California with all the fires. This was taken at 1pm Wed and it stayed dark all day, the smoke so thick over the marine layer it nearly blocked out the sun. Never ask 2020 what else can go wrong 😳 Hoping to do a little live stream sometime this weekend, keep an eye out 🧡 How are you all holding up? #california #fires #2020 #orangesky #musiciansofinstagram #theskyisfalling

9 years ago I bought a trailer and built a house on it. Moved to the bay area and lived in 120 sq ft with another person and a big floppy dog for 5 years, hell of a good time. My tiny is rented out now and I live in a 360 sq ft studio with more space for my creative outlets, but it’s shaped my life in so many beautiful ways. Happy build day, Little Yellow <3 (google search ‘Ella tiny house’ or ‘little yellow door’ to find the blog I wrote about building and living in it <3) #tinyhouse #tinyhousemovement #smallspaces #houseonwheels #tinyhouseonwheels #tinyhomeonwheels #tinyhouselife #tinyhouseliving #minimalism #minimalist #memade #diy #buildyourown #girlpower #musiciansofinstagram #musician #artist #smallspaces #interiordesign #homedesign #design

I adore this stretch of coast I’m lucky to call home. Heartened to hear the CZU lightning fire threatening much of my surrounding areas in Northern California is 33% contained today after burning almost 2 weeks, thousands of acres and over 1000 structures, most of which homes. It’s a far cry from over, but a huge feat in itself. If you have a spare minute, send good thoughts to all the firefighters working hard to keep these fires under control <3 #coast #California #beach #photography #nature #sunset #wildfire #lightning #coastalcalifornia #gooutside #surf #landscape

Birthdays! Yesterday was that of mine and this pretty wee banjo who I finished building just in time to share the day with me. More progress shots and first sounds in my story highlights :)⠀

Two years ago on the cover of the Ventura County Reporter, and a few bits of press love for Whiskey Garden this week <3 ⠀

Embarrassingly, I still have an unreasonable pile of copies of this paper because my mother made me drive to the @vc_reporter office the day after my gig at @ojaiundergroundexchange and pick up every one they had because ‘it’ll be worth something someday’ 😂 ah, parents...⠀

Thanks @independentmusicreviews @indieisnotagenre @indieobsessive for the shares, and to my awesome brother (in law) @ryrandom for the cover photo on the paper #singersongwriter #ventura #venturacounty #ojai #ojaiundergroundexchange #livemusic #newmusic #newsingle #whiskeygarden #harp #harplife #harpsofinstagram #harpist #bluesharp #indiemusic #musicscene
