Ellen Angelico

Ellen is an in-demand session musician and can currently be seen in the bands of country artists Mickey Guyton and Brandy Clark. The Nashville Scene calls Ellen an “ace of all things stringed” and “one of the greatest utility players in Nashville." She plays guitar, bass, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, dobro, keys, and trombone everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to Guam.

​

When she is not backing up a variety of talented acts (Cam, Mickey Guyton, Brandy Clark, Uncle Kracker, Delta Rae, Ty Herndon, Adeem the Artist, and many others) Ellen pens a quarterly column for Premier Guitar. Under the moniker Uncle Ellen, she releases original music once in a blue moon.

​

Ellen regularly volunteers with organizations like Please Vote Nashville, Nashville Launch Pad, and Association of Horizon, and she proudly serves on the Hearing Board of the Nashville Musicians Association, AFM Local 257. Ellen lives in beautiful Madison, Tennessee, with her partner Rachel and their beloved dog Tambourine. She hopes to leave Nashville and the music industry better than she received it.
