What's New?

Happy Thanksgiving! 

My calendar of live performances is a little bare at the moment, while I continue to work on my second CD - hopefully due to be released in early 2010.  Stay tuned for a free download of "The Juggler" - a new song that's been getting nice feedback from fans during recent performances this summer and fall. In the meantime, you can hear samples of songs from my CD, Flanagan’s Field, and you can also hear samples, read fan comments and purchase a copy at CD Baby. one of the coolest online independent music stores out there.  

I'm looking forward to being part of a compilation CD that MPBN is putting together of their live streamed performances over the last two years - a huge thanks to Lou Morin for making this happen - I think the compilation should be coming out some time in early 2010. I was a part of MPBN's live streaming when I opened for Dar Williams in December 2008 . Click here to listen to my opening set and to Dar's stellar set as well.  You can also click here to see a video of the last song of my opening set.

Downeast Magazine writes:

"Combining the playfulness of Mary Chapin Carpenter, the quirkiness of Dar Williams, and the soul of Norah Jones, Tipper creates a sound that is at once melodic and moody, sweet and sultry.  Ranging from upeat to achingly emotional, Tipper's melodies and lyrics prove her to be a varied and talented artist and reflect the myriad personal and musical inflences she has experienced in her travels around the world."

Muse’s Muse writes: 

With Flanagan's Field, Maine-based pianist/singer/songwriter Ellen Tipper and her band have crafted a shimmering folk/pop hybrid.  Tipper favors single notes over big chords, and this less-is-more philosophy makes the whole album sparkle.  On this winning effort, Tipper sounds at times wise like Carole King and at others earnest like Sarah MacLachlan.  Yet Ellen Tipper comfortably and confidently molds these influences into a style of her own."

Be well and thanks for visiting –
