Jody Ellen

I got to hear Jody perform at SteamCon, and is she ever amazing!

Her energy. Her vocal abilities. Her dancing. (Yes, she dances.) Her outfits are gorgeous. She is stunning to behold. She is very sweet and gracious.

I could go on and on, but you'll just have to meet her for yourselves.

I absolutely love her voice! (Saw her at Dragon*con) and I can NOT wait to hear more of their music with her! =)

Neat story about Jody and DragonCon:

She was still in the "auditioning phase" when she traveled to DragonCon. She performed with AP.

There was another girl who was also auditioning at the time, but I don't know if she made it to DragonCon or not.

During the concert, Robert made up his mind. He managed to get everyone together for a brief second when Jody wasn't around, and they all agreed...

She was in!

Assuming Jody's the one in the video about rearranging Hush, she's fitting in very well. Not knowing the band well (D*C 09 was the first live performance I'd attended), I didn't realize Jody was new, but she didn't seem quite as comfortable at that point. I would guess she was still figuring out the harmonies, since her vocal range and timbre are different from the previous vocalists.

Jody did an absolutely smashing job on the new album!

Yeah, I'd say she's getting more comfortable.

She's an excellent singer.

She winged some harmonies on Æther Shanties that are almost haunting in their brilliance.

Her voice provides the perfect support to Robert's. It brings out the richness of both of their voices. Her voice is strong, but it doesn't overshadow Robert's, it only enhances it.

: ) agreed on all counts - getting to experience her live at the SwingGoth event in NYC this weekend was a real treat !
