Minneapolis singer/songwriter Ellis stopped by on a humid afternoon to perform a few songs and talk about her career.

When I made my first CD in college and I made 1000 copies of this CD and I didn’t really know for sure if anyone would buy it…I sat at the lunch table in the cafeteria every single day for months and I sold all 1000 copies…and I thought, this is totally going to work. I mean, people are interested in what I’m doing. I’m doing something that resonates with people and utlimately no matter what you’re going art-wise, when that happens, it becomes a viable thing. It becomes something that could maybe sustain you.

–Ellis talking about releasing her first CD gave her the confidence to pursue her musical career.
