Paul Ellingsen's latest band sometimes referred to as "Cece & Me" is a dynamic Gospel Folk group featuring the vocals, folksy guitar picking and soulful harmonica playing of Paul Ellingsen. Cece plays bass & occasionally some mandolin leads. The band may also include John Kiefer on percussion & Allen Carlson, who is a quite accomplished pianist. We do mostly original Gospel with a few classics. The lyrics are a mixture of evangelistic, testimonial, Bible story telling, and Scripture put to music. The music is mostly folk style, with some country, some blues, and some guitar, harmonica & keyboard instrumentals.
    It is our prayer that you be not only entertained, but that the Holy Spirit might use us to give you a glimpse of the love, forgiveness, and hope that comes only through Christ Jesus, our Lord.
