These three talented and seasoned performers hope to bring joy, hope, and resilience through their music to their audience members and fans. Dear Ella’s repertoire includes folk, jazz, roots music, R&B, and original tunes.
The band’s name, “Dear Ella”, is an homage, a thank you, and love letter to the iconic vocalist and band leader Ella Fitzgerald as well as the inspiring civil rights activist Ella Baker. The fabulous Ella Jenkins (talented musician, actress & children’s performer) is also on the list of “Dear Ella”s. The Dear Ella trio encourages us all to honor all women who have inspired us to stand for justice, sing our truths, and be the best selves we can be.
