Elyse Barnard is a Twin Cities musician and vocalist. Elyse is heavily involved in the live music scene, with a variety of bands and musical settings.  

​

Like groovy music? Good. Elyse fronts her own band, Elyse & the Guys, an awesome Soul/Groove group that plays a mix of original tunes and covers. Currently, Elyse & the Guys has a residency at Hell's Kitchen (every other Thursday, 6:30-9:30pm) and Gluek's (every Wednesday, 9pm-1am) in downtown Minneapolis. 

​

With so much experience performing a plethora of musical genres, Elyse sings and entertains in many corporate and wedding bands, including Bluewater Kings Band and The R Factor. The coolest part about Elyse's vocal ability is that she is so versatile. Elyse sings in so many musical styles, including Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, R&B, and Funk.

​

Elyse also has a mini-series on her Youtube channel called LivingRoom Sessions, in which she invites her musical buddies to perform a song (she takes requests, too!).

​

When Elyse is not on stage, she spends time practicing guitar and bass, blogging about happiness, or learning about mindfulness and wellness.
