TESO ELLIS & FRIENDS
\nTeso Ellis is an Indie singer songwriter out of Asheville, North Carolina With a genre, bending sound nostalgic of 90s alternative rock and classic soul, driven by folky tones and Lofi hip-hop grooves. A vibe that is completely unique but somehow familiar. He released a renegade album called \u201cthe end\u201d with a band called chilltonic and this album is nearly impossible to get your hands on, unless you come out to one of his shows and ask him for it personally! That\u2019s the definition of independent art.<\/p>\n
