What's New?

Memorial Day is officially behind us, which means that summer is here in Maine!  It always feels like someone actually cracks a bottle of champagne on the side of the state starting on Memorial Day weekend and we take off like a party barge, replete with lobsters, music festivals, and gorgeous coastal and lakeside scenes.  

So, if you want in on the party, check out the calendar for a list of upcoming live performances.  You can hear samples of songs from my CD, Flanagan’s Field, released in November 2007 on this site, 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. 

Here’s a bit of recent press…

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."

Before you go, check out a cool organic lifestyle website that’s featuring my song All in a Day.  It’s called www.allgood-living.com and it’s filled with great blogs and info on organic lifestyles and positive vibes. 

Enjoy the summer and don’t be a stranger! 

Be well and thanks for visiting –
