The New News

Today we had to take off early for the drive to Nashville--
So while checking our emails and gathering directions this morning, we saw the news that we'd been selected again this year by Paste Magazine for its "Rock n Reel at Sea Contest".
We're so excited and honored -- If you missed the newsletter and myspace blog, you can find all the information posted on the News Page, and on our MySpace Page.
The basic news is that we were selected by Paste among 20 semifinalists, who will now be narrowed down by a TWO-WEEK online vote by... YOU. :) Log on to the voting page and rate each artists from 1-5 (5 being highest)...
The five artists with the highest scores will go on to a final round, and panel of industry professionals will choose the winner from among those five.

The winner is invited to perform on the Cayamo Cruise in February, along with artists such as Patty Griffin, Indigo Girls, Brandi Carlile, Buddy Miller, Mindy Smith, Lyle Lovett, Vienna Teng, Over The Rhine and many more.
Enormously exciting --
Please lend us your votes! You can vote once per day per email address, so bookmark us and send Paste some daily Ellery Love. :)

After sending out some news regarding the contest today, we journeyed over the mountains through Knoxville and into Nashville. We played The Basement tonight; a short but very fun set among a handful of other very talented artists. It was our first Nashville show in a year, and we hope the next one isn't long in coming...
