Ellis Delaney - Oh My Dear Child

 
0
Copied!
Oh my dear child
Don't you let them tear you down
You got so much history that will carry you around

Remember that blue ocean
In the back of your view
That big body of motion
Is there to hold onto

Oh my dear child
You got something special, something real
You got to take care now child
Make sure you give yourself time to heal
I know it's not easy
And it will never be easy
But oh yeah yeah yeah
You've got so much energy
You are sensitive but you are tough

Make sure you're not too eager
Make sure that you are free
You've got all the time in the world
So take it easy

Oh my dear child
All this weight you carry around
If you would just let it go
Your whole world won't come crashin' down
There will be many people
That will want a piece of you
You've got to take care now child
Make sure you know what is and is not true

Make sure you're not too eager
Make sure that you are free
You've got all the time in the world
So take it easy

Biography

After moving from Texas to Minneapolis at age 16, Ellis got her start singing her own songs at open mics where she quickly dropped her often-mispronounced former last name (Bergeron; her new married name is Delaney). She joined a rock band in high school while also setting up her own record label to put out her first solo CD Soft Day in 1996. In college at St Olaf, she fronted the band Bobby Llama and in 1999 the band was voted Sam Goody/Musicland’s Best Unsigned Band in America. Ellis went solo and began touring full-time in 2000. Since then she has independently sold more than 40,000 copies of her eight CDs.

Ellis got her start performing the women’s festival circuit in 2000, with regular performances at the Michigan Women’s Music Festival. She also has headlined the National Women’s Music Festival in 2006 & 2008 and the Virgina Women’s Music Festival in 2009.

She has also established herself as a rising artist in the folk music community. She was voted “Most Wanted to Return” by the audience at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in 2006, and at Sisters Folk Festival in 2009, and Moab (Utah) in 2012-2014 and has since been invited to perform at several other folk festivals including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Festival for the Eno, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Wildflower Festival, the Fischer Festival and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (2007-2016).

She has also received several songwriting awards and honors, including Top Five awards at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriting Contest, the Telluride Troubadour Contest, and the Kerrville Music To Life Songwriting Contest. She also won the award for best Female Singer/Songwriter Album in the International Just Plain Folks 2009 Music Awards. Most recently, she won the Mountain Stage NewSong Midwest Regional Round and the Kerrville Grassy Hill New Folk Contest.

In 2009, Ellis released a retrospective DVD entitled “Scrapbook” that includes a look back at the first 12 years of her career, as well as a live concert and an MP3 CD with the songs from her first five albums, including the first Bobby Llama CD.

In 2010, Ellis completed her critically acclaimed seventh full-length recording, Right On Time.

In 2013 she released a 3-disc live CD set Wherever You Are.

In 2016, she released her most ambitious studio recording to date, The Guest House.
