Dennis Ellsworth is a prolific songwriter. Hailing from Prince Edward Island, Dennis has travelled the world sharing his music. His latest album has been described as East Coast folk meets Rock and Roll with shades of classic Americana and country haunting the edges. Anyone who's questioned their place in the world will find their own experiences reflected in his songs. Although he’s refined his sound and approach to writing over the years, some things remain constant. One is an acoustic guitar he rescued from 1970’s era cottage in the Catskills; a guitar on which he’s written almost every song he’s put down on tape and believes has a lot to do with his gift for songwriting. Another is the emphasis he places on collaboration with the musicians he brings together for each album and the importance of allowing their unique voices as players to influence his songs. There have been times that music has saved him, and times that it’s let him down, but aside from his beautiful and loving wife and their cat Winsloe, music has always been his truest friend and companion.
