San Francisco Bay folk-pop artist Ella Harp introduces a glorious new single called “Screaming Into The Void.” Known to her friends and family as Ella Dawn Jenkins, EllaHarp, has been gifted with an enormous talent for writing some of the most powerful, universal songs that could be performed by a harp.

This single is the first to be released from the self-titled album “Screaming Into The Void” and that will be released later this year.
