Dennis Ellsworth

Dennis Ellsworth writes around life experience and emotion in a poetic way, full of imagery, and classic melody, sung in a rich, confident voice.

His music is a blend of rock n' roll, power pop, psych and spacey, alt-country and singer-songwriter. It starts with well crafted songs and builds on a spectrum of influence that, although it may not be immediately evident, is boundless.

His 2018 release, “Things Change,” produced by Joel Plaskett is a brilliant convergence of Ellsworth’s irresistible power pop songwriting chops with Plaskett and co.'s trademark vintage guitar-driven sound. Dennis followed this album up in 2019 with another full length album, “Common Senseless,” which he started recording at The Hill sound studio just months before the release of “Things Change.”

Dennis’ most recent project is a three-part album titled “Bound by Love,” the first of which, “Flowers in Your Head,” is available now. Part 2, titled “The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side,” and part 3, “Wolves Not Far” are slated for release on March 2, 2021, and on April 28, 2021. This 3-part album is available in full on bandcamp, with four tracks from each album available on streaming services.

In the past, the Prince Edward Island native Ellsworth has never hesitated to seek out the right people for specific projects. It's led him to build an impressive body of work in conjunction with producer David Barbe (Drive-By Truckers, Sugar), along with CanRock heroes such as Josh Finlayson (Skydiggers, Gord Downie), Hugh Christopher Brown, and Tim Bovaconti (Ron Sexmith).

His work has been featured in the television programs Heartland, Northern Rescue, Hello Goodbye, Cavendish, and the feature film, The New Romantic.

Dennis has recently completed work as a producer on albums by Tara MacLean and Renee Powers and he continues to stay busy with producing, writing and recording new material.
