Enjoy some depressing Americana pop rock from Nashville-based Midwest transplants.

 

Ellie Maybe & The Cancellations are a hooky, heavy pop act based out of Nashville, with roots in the Midwest. Their sound is drenched in ’90s nostalgia and highlighted by more modern sonic textures in the violin, synth, and layered vocal harmonies. Maybe’s catchy melodies belie her dark and often self-deprecating lyrics, while the driving bass and expressive guitar leads keep the songs upbeat and engaging. Ellie Maybe and the Cancellations make depression you can dance to.

 

Ellie Maybe & The Cancellations originated in Madison, WI in 2017, featuring Chicago glam-pop veteran Ellie Maybe (The Maybenauts, Holiday Music Motel) on vocals and guitar, backed by local rockers Joe Golemb (4 Aspirin Morning, Doctor Noize) on bass and the late and legendary Derek Brady (Derx Brax Band, Underground Day 1) on lead guitar.
