The fun never stops around here! Catch me this Friday, 1pm at the Works Festival!
I’ll be playing my tunes LIVE + SOLO at Churchill Square, right after my pops, Rob Heath. It’ll be a true family affair!
Speaking of which, bring your family down to RE/MAX field this Sunday to catch me co-hosting the Edmonton Riverhawks game. Fun fact: you can bring your own DOG!
That Saturday, July 6, I’ll be teaching a workshop on How to Produce a Show, so if you’ve been thinking of putting your own work up on a stage and need a little guidance, go sign up at GrindstoneComedyFest.com!
IN THE MEANTIME, GO LISTEN TO THE SHINE EP!
I’ve got more EP content to roll out in the weeks to come so Stay Tuned… and thanks for continuing to be here and receive my Ellie News- I do enjoy sharing it with your shining face.
GO OILERS!
What a night we had, celebrating the release of my first ever EP, SHINE at the Roxy 124 Street!
I am levitating right now from all of the love and sparkle of the night.
Thanks to everybody who came out and to all the folks who have been there throughout this process. Your love, care and energy are what keep me going after my dreams!
I saw a video recently where the great Conan O’Brien said, “to do what you love with the people you love, that’s heaven on earth.”
Ain’t that the truth?
The full EP, SHINE, is out now on all streaming services!
Stream it here on Spotify!
SHINE, the single, IS HERE!
I am beyond excited to share the title track off my upcoming EP, with instrumentals, back up vocals and production by Jesse Northey and Steven Foster.

Before recording the EP, I remember spending a large portion of January feeling nervous about working with two such behemoths of talent- I felt out of my depth, like an impostor and truly unworthy.
Then, I got to Toronto late in the month and met up with these gems of human beings.
They created a space that felt safe, welcoming and filled with inspiration and laughter. We ended up spending a week, making something really special, above and beyond the memories we created!

Leading up to my first rehearsal with a full band this Tuesday, I also felt that sense of dread and unworthiness creep in.
I knew I had amassed an incredible group of talented folks and wanted to make sure that I rose to the occasion!
Again, I was blown away by the welcoming and positive attitude of every member in the band. We had a sensational rehearsal and everything sounded like a dream to me!
Thanks so much to Biboye Onanuga, Gareth Gilliland, Vicky Berg and Phil Holtby for making my sonic dreams come true and a special shout out to Brian and Amelia for setting us up and supporting us with quality sound tech and kindness!
It’s amazing, the magic you can create when you surround yourself with top notch humans.

Shine is a song about finding those people who bring the light out in you, who see what’s special and encourage it to come to the surface!
I assure you that I’ve been lit from within throughout this process, having had the pleasure of surrounding myself with folks along this journey that bring the sparkle out in me. ☺️
I cannot wait to share the single with you tomorrow and the release of the full EP next Thursday!
The EP release concert happens Thursday, June 20 at Roxy 124 Street with Waffelhouse and DJ Kena Leon! You can grab tickets to the show here.
Thanks for being here, for shining your light(s) on me and for listening!
