From his midwestern roots to his home in the Southwest, Ely Cartwright explores the beauty and loss of everyday life in the pursuit of connection. Described as falling “somewhere between indie-folk and the singer-songwriter sounds of 1970s Laurel Canyon,” Cartwright has spent the last twenty years honing his craft as a songwriter and storyteller. His current project, One Take Sessions, explores those sounds and stories with a raw and real approach, capturing intimate performances of songs he’s written throughout his journey as an artist.
