Americana--Neo-Soul
Austin, Texas
Some music moves you, some music holds you close—Ella Reid’s does both. Her sound effortlessly glides between Americana soul, Folk-Rock grit, and the smoky allure of jazz and blues, evoking the sensation of a slow skate under a mirrorball where every note sparks connection.
A life-altering car crash forced Ella to relearn how to walk, a challenge that led her to embrace sobriety and find solace in the ethereal strains of Jeff Buckley’s “Grace.” That transformative moment set her on a new path, where music became both her sanctuary and her driving force.
Today, Ella channels that inner strength into a genre-defying blend of Americana, Neo-Soul, Folk-Rock, country and blues. Her third album, Gimme a Cowboy (2023), along with an innovative series of monthly singles in 2024, showcases a voice that's both soulful and timeless. With soaring vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and an undeniable stage presence—whether at Austin’s Saxon Pub or Houston’s Mucky Duck—she creates unforgettable moments that deeply resonate with her audience.
Fueled by a lifetime of experiences, Ella transforms challenges into lush harmonies and deep, rolling grooves. And she’s just getting started. With new music set to release in 2025, she continues crafting chapters filled with heartbeat grooves, late-night slow dances, and melodies that embrace you like an old friend.
Experience the magic for yourself—stream her latest releases or catch her live, and let her music move you in ways that go far beyond words.
Awards: Ella won first place NSAI Nashville Songwriter’s Assoc. Int’l contest at the Frank Brown Songwriter’s Fest 2010 and 3rd place with a band in 2012.
