Too Human
Hailing from New York, both Ellen and Roger have had music in their lives from a very early age. Roger was studying accordion by the time he was 5 and Ellen was harmonizing by the age of 3. Over the years they both explored different musical genres and instruments, but what remained constant was singing, the song and the passion. They eventually became professional songwriters in Los Angeles, on staff with publishing giant Warner/Chappell Music, where they had their songs covered by a broad spectrum of recording artists including Cher, Pat Benatar, Teddy Pendergrass, Martha Davis, Angela Bofill, Anne Murray, and Nancy Wilson. When they moved back east they became Too Human. Whether performing breezy, jazzy, toe tapping swing, a bluesy, heartfelt ballad, or a familiar standard from the American Songbook, they will move you with their music. With guitar, percussion and vocals, and the occasional addition of an upright bass, they have a jazzy / bluesy feel with a lot of heart. Their songs touch on many topics all related to the human condition. Ellen's earthy voice combines perfectly with Roger's unusual percussion style and sweet vocals. High quality musicianship with humor and passion, totally in sync with each other, they create a strong and intimate atmosphere. They bring a spirit and spontaneity to their performance, sometimes even writing songs on the spot utilizing audience members as their subject matter. Or they will write personalized songs for special occasions. As performers Too Human has opened for or shared the stage with 10,000 Maniacs, Janis Ian, Martin Sexton, Livingston Taylor, Kenny Rankin, Kim & Reggie Harris, Susan Werner, Jack Williams, Les Sampou, David Amram, Dave's True Story, Dean Friedman, and Sloan Wainwright.
