Ella Turk-Richards with special guest Polly Henderson- cellist, vocalist.
Ella Turk-Richards is a songwriter, composer who has predominantly worked in the Southwest. Her original songwriting and arrangements draw threads from world, latin, jazz, soul and nu-folk and weaves them into a rich musical tapestry. Ella accompanies herself on guitar, harmonium, loop station. She seeks to find new ways to tell stories of the human condition through the characters she depicts, continually delving deeper for illumination on what it is to be human.
Ella is joined by the talented cellist and vocalist, Polly Henderson, who plays in the ‘folkadelic’ duo, Pagan Teapot, with whom she has recorded an album, ‘Espejo de Tierra’ . She also sings for Rumba Diablo, which performs Cuban, Colombian and Brazilian dance music.
The collaboration of these two musicians creates a rich blend that leans into this unique, emotive sound world, of many musical colours, beckoning you to give over to what is an evocative, rewarding journey.
