As a musician, Ellen Angelico plays many instruments well, but her first love is still her go-to: the guitar. You can hear her play on albums by Lola Kirke and Adeem the Artist. She's backed up the likes of Mickey Guyton and Brandy Clark. She writes her own music as Uncle Ellen, and writes a column for Premier Guitar magazine. In short, she's living the dream that started when she got her first real six-string at age 4.

It was the Music City dream that attracted both Ellen and one of her former bandmates, the talented singer Shelly Bush. In the new podcast Girl in a Hurry, Ellen tells Shelly's story, from a small town in Missouri to the honky tonks of Lower Broad — a life cut tragically short but lived to the absolute fullest.
