Musical Entertainment: Ellen Whyte & Sonny Hess Guitar and Vocal Performance

Ellen Whyte and Sonny Hess are an exciting combination of two veteran performers in the Pacific Northwest. Sonny "Smokin'" Hess is the lead guitarist and vocalist for The Sonny Hess Band and she was awarded Best Lead Guitar by the Cascade Blues Association. Ellen Whyte is a rhythm guitarist and vocalist who was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2015. Together, the combination of their considerable talents gives us something that is not rock, not folk, not blues, but something hypothetical. "Both women are capable of penning some clever original tunes, and their individual voices and strengths on vocals and guitars mesh together smoothly." - Tim Casebeer, Willamette Week
