Eleanor has been nominated for a 2012 Wammie award for Blues/Traditional R & B Female Vocalist.

"... a delightfully eclectic set, encompassing songs by Memphis Minnie and Chuck Berry, among others... not only a fine guitarist, she has an expressive voice..."
                                                        Mike Joyce, Washington Post

"More than copying one artist or another, Ellis distills the elements of the originals and transmits them, intact, in her own expressive way...beautifully sung and thoroughly believable."
                                                            Bob Burtman, Spectator, Chapel Hill, N.C.

"...dynamic style...a must-see."
                                                             Wavelength, New Orleans
