ELLA REID
at Saxon Pub
Ella Reid is an Austin-based songwriter whose music moves fluidly between Americana, pop, and jazz-influenced soul—guided not by genre, but by voice and feel. Known for emotionally direct performances and a dynamic vocal range, her live shows unfold as a spectrum of human experience—from quiet introspection to grit, humor, and release—often within a single set. She has performed at the Frank Brown Songwriters Festival, where she won the NSAI Songwriting Contest in 2009 and returned the following year to place 3rd. Now a regular on Austin stages including the Saxon Pub and Poodie’s Hilltop, Reid continues to build a reputation for shows that are both intimate and expansive. Her upcoming project expands that range even further—blending pop-driven songs, country storytelling on her own terms, jazz textures, and stripped-down songwriter moments into a body of work that reflects her full artistic identity.
