ELLEN KAY BAND : SMOOTH

During a tour from The Go Getters they met Ellen Krantz by a coincident. They come up with the of forming a band to play a mix of Rockabilly with a Country & Western flavour. Ellen is the expert on Countrymusic and the Go getters are stucked in the Rockabilly rhythm. They started writing songs right away,and ended up with the "On the contryside" album. A mix between Rockabilly and Country-twang, played with slapbass but NO Gretsch guitar not copying the sound of the 50's,more modern But yet, a familliar Rockabilly aura is covering the band. During the writingprocess for the first album,just because we are so much influenced by real American folkmusic and Country & Western music, songs started to show up as more "Bluegrass" stylish kind of songs with Dobro and Steelguitar.And the album "Smooth"was born!
