These two words describe Mindy Ellis in her most comfortable Environment - THE STAGE.
This young country western star began performing for audiences of all ages when she was 8 years old at her family’s ranch in Loveland, Colorado. When she wasn’t helping tend to horses, elk and buffalo, Mindy was picking her guitar. Her campfire songs became the featured entertainment for chuck wagon dinner rides and this opened doors for her performances in Colorado, Wyoming and many other Western states.
Mindy is a Colorado native who moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams. The first step in reaching her goal was attending and graduating from Belmont University where she focused on the business side of the music industry.
Her musical talent has taken her to many large events, including; Grand Old West Days, the Greeley Independence Stampede, Cheyenne Frontier Days, Predators Hockey Games, and the Longhorn World Championship Finals. Mindy has also shared the stage with several well-known country acts including; Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ty England and Lacy J. Dalton.
Mindy has never stopped performing. She brings her influences of the West to the stage and keeps her music country “COUNTRY with a little ATTITUDE!” When Mindy and her band are not on the road, she is at home in Nashville performing regularly at one of Nashville’s most popular dance halls, the Legends Corner located in the shadow of the historic Ryman Auditorium. She is also currently writing songs for Bigger Picture Group.
