His talents have been showcased nationally and internationally, opening for many top performers such as The Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Herbie Hancock, The Spinners and Natalie Cole.

His CD, "The Spirit Lingers On... and On", features Ellis doing it all.... writing, producing, all instruments and vocals. The CD has a soulful range from Gospel to Soul to Soaring Folk to Funk. It captures everything that Ellis Hall has to offer.
