QuarterDeck is one of the hardest working bands in country music. They are still number 1 in the NorthWest RN Charts for two years and going strong. QuarterDeck has been on sabbatical from stage life but they are back ready for action. They are ready to share their new music with their devoted fans and perhaps catch some new listeners along the way.
Elly the lead vocalist and song writer, born and raised in the Northwest, she was brought up by a mother of the Ozarks in Arkansas and has a long lineage of mountain folk who groomed their children to have a deep love and appreciation for the sound of a pedal steel, fiddle, banjo and songs that told the stories of life.
Therefore, her first and foremost love has always been Country, having it so clearly running through her veins. Growing up with her 4 sisters, it seemed natural to have a family of country performers; after all, her mother had started her career at a tender age of 8, performing in the streets with her brother and sister to raise money for military bonds.
Elly had already established her writing ability at an early age, having become a published short story author, poet and song writer during her high school years and beyond. Her goal is to write the words that will move the hearts and soul of those listening or reading.
