Elly is a jazz cat alligator from New Orleans with cerebral palsy and is the Ability crew’s resident musician. Think Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act but an alligator. Elly tends to shake things up and loves ‘mommying’ the crew; offering her distinctly ‘Nawlins’ pearls of wisdom. She lives and breathes music (and oxygen) and has a great singing voice, although she’s not exactly fond of sea shanties or Abel’s trance anthems.
She is a melomaniac and plays the harmonica, piano, saxophone and the triangle. Before joining the Ability Crew, Elly was a lounge singer and entertainer at a jazz bar in the French Quarter until the bar flooded. Usually, an alligator wouldn’t mind getting wet but the bar lost half its clientele and a gator has got to eat.
Elly went soul searching and went through a soul music phase before discovering the Ability Crew which gave her a great opportunity to see the world and play a little music along the way.
