Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memories all involve my dad playing guitar and singing or my uncle playing blues piano. My dad would always be playing 60's folk songs on guitar and my uncle played piano by ear, always playing blues or Beatles covers. - Daniel What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Tom Petty, Wildflowers Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Yankee Hotel because it showed me how boundaries could be pushed. Wildflowers because it still holds up as one of the greatest sounding albums ever made. Wolfgang because it was always blasting in the tour van and made us Phoenix fans for life. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Shoe Fits” Shoe Fits was the song that put our band on the map. Not in a huge way, but in enough of a way to make us keep pushing forward. It propelled us through our first tour and into album two with an optimism for things to come. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think it would probably be hearing our song on the radio for the first time. It was Lightning 100 in Nashville. They went on to get behind us in a big way over the years. We're forever indebted to them for all the love and support. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? So many things on our bucket list, but probably biggest of all would be playing a show at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville or the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
