Megan Ellsworth releases new album
By Ceili Cornelius Tuesday, February 2, 2021 11:33 AM Megan Ellsworth, Americana Project alumnus, who is now based in Denver, Colorado, released her first full-length album last Friday titled ELLSWORTH.
As stated in the press release on the album, “The folk singer-songwriter’s impressive album consists of dreamlike vocals, bright melodies, and ruminative lyrics masterfully captured through skilled mixing and musical composition.”
Ellsworth graduated from Sisters High School in 2016, and pursued her music degree at the University of Colorado Denver, graduating in 2020 with a double major in songwriting and music business. Graduating into the entertainment world during a pandemic has caused Ellsworth, as well as her band, Sister Neapolitan, to adapt to the new way of life.

There is a well-developed pastime taking place across the nation that keeps thousands of people occupied from dawn to dark.
