Switzerland’s most amazing blues rock band “The Ellis Mano Band” release their second single from their forthcoming sophomore album “Ambedo”.  The new single is called “The Question” featuring Hammond B3 organ wizard Lachy Doley. 

"The album is nothing short of brilliant” - Velvet Thunder

"Excellent song writing abounds on this recording, a mix of classic rock standards, stirred up with some blues, pop, soft rock, smooth jazz, dramatic love songs and ballads along with rocking out standards. Something beautiful to pop into the player and sing along to and FEEL to.” - Rock At Night

"Heart ‘n’ Mind is a really meaty, deep, emotionally loaded, atmospheric conclusion to a great album that has a touch of everything!” - Velvet Thunder

In Switzerland, the Ellis Mano Band are not unlike the Wrecking Crew or the Funk Brothers. They are top-flight studio musicians and elites in the Swiss music scene. Although they spent years making music with other artists, the band members never got much time to make music of their own until now.

“We chose the album title “Ambedo” because it reflects the state of the process of recording an album,” says guitarist Edis Mano.  “Ambedo” refers to the tendency both to reflect and to absorb. Musicians like us do it all the time, especially when we compose new songs and create a new album.”

Every track on the new album is rich with perfectly chosen detail including Chris Ellis’s rough voice, Edis Mano’s vintage sounding guitar playing, and the tight rhythm section of drummer Nico Looser and Severin Graf (bass). The album also features Hammond B3 organ, and horns that reflect the blazing summer heat during which they were recorded. The harmonious backing vocals are reminiscent of something you would hear from Muscle Shoals Studios.
