Elysé is a powerhouse singer and guitar player, known for her low, smokey vocals and sultry delivery. Combine that with singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lance Keltner and Nuevo Retro's three decades of bluesy, personally charged rock - n- roll and you have an award winning combination of gritty rock and greasy soul drenched in a fifth of whiskey.
Elysé's unmistakable vocals harken you back to the 40's and 50's with her sound compared more to the likes of Etta James than her modern contemporaries. Lance Keltner is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer from Austin, Texas who has been signed to Atco East/West, Mascot, and Ulftone Records performing and recording for a national and international audience. Keltner was previously a side man for heavy weights like Rod Stewart, Mike Tramp of White Lion, Phil Lewis of LA Guns and Johnny Rawls. Keltner played guitar on Johnny Rawls Memphis Blues album of the year "Ace of Spades." Keltner has worked with rock producers Jim Gaines (Steve Miller, ZZ Top, Santana) along with Ross Hogwarth (Edgar Winter, Steve Miller, Jewel, Ziggy Marley, Van Halen, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal, and many more) and honed his production and recording skills working on five albums with rock legend, Andy Johns (Zeppelin, The Stones).
Keltner introduced Elysé to his Nuevo Retro band members Mike Moyer (Bass and Vocals), Cole Hanson (Guitar and Vocals) and Kevin Lance (Drums and Vocals) all who have years of touring and recording experience with some of the top names in the music business, and Elysé and Nuevo Retro was formed. In just a few short months the band's instant chemistry, has produced a 10-song record which has major label interest, and a new 5-song Blues EP that is being touted by some as the equivalent of an Amy Winehouse of the Blues. The band is currently open to tour dates and will be working as much as 250 days a year in 2025.
