Ezra Bell, Salt Lake City, UT
Ezra Bell, a Portland-raised recording artist, is a national touring band headlining countless concerts and festivals as well as providing tour support for several established and international acts.
Paste Magazine says that “… the music is more like an action then something you should just sit idly by and describe. This album is running up hills of grass at age 9. It's the feeling of jumping in the pool without testing it with your toes. It's those late-night drunken stool-swaying sessions with a group of irreplaceable people in your life.”
No Depression proclaims, “Ezra Bell is a West Coast poet of disappearing into appetites. The virtues and vices described on this self-titled release are backed by a tantalizing singalong, early 20th century jazz ensemble vibe, sounding like the musical journaling of a swing musician crawling out of rehab. Wuamett's lyrics describe a soul dissolved, but the feeling isn't completely unpleasant.”
Ezra Bell has released three EP's: 'Don't All Look Up at Once,' 2013; 'We Came by Canoe,' 2014; and 'Farewell Griffin,' 2016. A self-titled album came later in 2018. Then 'This Way to Oblivion' dropped like a prediction of a global pandemic in April of 2020. Jorji, a full length, followed in 2022. Ezra Bell is set to release a new album in late 2022 entitled, For Those We Love(d).
