Ellis Mano Band, 'special guest' of the Deep Purple summer tour'24, present new album MORPH live

The ELLIS MANO BAND's appearances as special guest on Deep Purple's German tour in July 2024 were enthusiastically celebrated by tens of thousands of spectators. One of the most acclaimed songs was "For All I Care". The postmodern homage to the classic rock of the late 1960s/70s is part of "MORPH" (SPV, release date: 21.2.2025). The group is now presenting their fourth studio album live. Compositional sophistication, stylistic variety and playing skills are the hallmarks of the ELLIS MANO BAND's versatile Anglo-American rock sound. The multinational quintet performs at a top international level.
One special feature characterizes the music of the critics' favourites: The emotionally gripping radiance of a wide range of feelings set to music is palpable when listening to their original compositions. This "side effect" unfolds both on record and in concert, making it a uniquely impressive experience!
In addition to samples from the current album, the ELLIS MANO BAND's program also includes songs from their previous works. This includes the audience favorite "A Lifetime". It is known from their concert recorded by "Rockpalast" and broadcast on 3sat and available on YouTube. This was recorded shortly after the release of the highly acclaimed album "Live: Access All Areas". It's telling what the British online portal Great Music Stories says: ""...in this world, we really do need bands to remind us what the art of 'good music' is all about. We no longer need rock gods, we need great musicians - people whose vocation is the art of quality music played well. Welcome to the world of Ellis Mano Band's music - and their captivating universe of sound!"
