The Ellyn Maybe Band was formed in 2010 after the release of the critically acclaimed album, Rodeo for the Sheepish (Hen House Studios). With wonderful feedback from such luminaries as Greil Marcus, Henry Rollins and Jackson Browne, the band has since gone on to tour Europe including performances at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in the UK, Drogheda Arts Centre and No Alibis Bookstore in Belfast. Also, notable performances include Shakespeare and Company Bookstore in Paris and a TEDx Conference poetry reading and performance with singer songwriter Jackson Browne. More touring is in the works as well as releases of new singles.
The Ellyn Maybe Band is notable for being great at improvisation as well as being comprised of truly awesome composer/lyricists in their own right. Harlan Steinberger is the founder of Hen House Studios and plays cajon and other percussive instruments. Robbie Fitzsimmons plays keyboards and was in the duo Rabbits Running and also performs solo. Tommy Jordan plays everything from hammer dulcimer to karkabous to trumpet and that's just the tip of his palette. Other members of the band are Danny Moynahan who rocks sax, saw and flute and Paul Bushnell our amazing bassist. The latter two most likely won't be able to be here tonight but are deserving of mention.
