De Mon, Elli

Countin' The Blues

Elli de Mon, for the best part of the past decade shes been thrilling blues audiences across Europe with her unique take on the form. To say shes a blues singer or blues guitarist is putting it waaay too simply: rezophonic guitar, drums, bells, voice and saturated sound - she is, in every sense, a real one woman band. Strongly influenced by the primordial blues tradition (Bessie Smith, Fred Mc Dowell, Son House) crosshatched with primitive garage punk, Ellis sound is shaped into a lysergic journey through her soul. Sharing stages with the likes of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Reverend Beatman and Cedric Burnside, shes released six albums since 2014, most recently a split release with the wonderfully-named psych-blues trio Daily Thompson.
