Hello friends 'Songs I Wish I Wrote' comes out next weeeeeek! It’s a little EP with a few songs I wish I wrote. I love these songs a lot. At different times, they were all stuck in my head for months. Thank you Jackson Browne, OSKA, Bright Eyes, Ellen Froese and Shoshanna Bohlen for writing these beautiful songs.

And when you pre-save, the next page will ask you if there are any songs YOU wish I wrote. You can tell me a song you wish I wrote and why and I’ll choose one to learn and make a little video after Christmas
It's time for another edition of #SnappySingles - this month we have music from Lapelúda, Lesley Pike, Ellen Froese, and Claire Davis.
Without sounding like a broken record here, the single releases from across Canada are coming at us thick and fast right now. So much to choose from, so little space to share. At least with our #SnappySingles feature, we can devote time to four recent cuts that you absolutely need to become familiar with – so take an extended coffee break and marvel at this fine selection of fresh…
I got to watch a post-show jam session, too! As for the main show, @killjoy_saskatoon were fantastic as always, and so we're the other musicians: Mike Mikus, Jackson Reed, and Ellen Froese. #music #yxe #saskatoon And also awesome venue at @undergroundcafe430 !!
Ellen Froese invites people to experience the nostalgia of her farm home with annual Perogyfest It's typical for musicians to write songs about their home, then travel the world sharing them, providing audiences a glimpse into where they come from.
This is Ellen Froese, we did a little tour together in Canada recently through Saskatchewan, Alberta and up into Northwest Territories finishing at Folk On The Rocks in Yellowknife which was one of the nicest times ever.
Ellen played her song 'I Wish I Had a Foot-Long Cigarette' at every show and it was stuck in my head the whole time so I decided to record a little version of it to try get it out of my head but it is still stuck in my head most days.
I was travelling pretty light and ended up recording each part through my phone as a voice memo - guitar, vocals, harmonica and a slightly out of tune piano...
