I was like, God, I need to hear from you. I am exhausted and I don't know how I'm going to do this.

And I felt like I heard the voice of the Lord say, go take a nap.

I'm J.J. Heller. And I'm Dave Heller. And this is Instrumental.

In every episode, we explore the instrumental moments that made our

guest who they are today. We hope our conversation reminds you that every second

matters because none of us knows which moment will be the one that changes

everything. Big world happens in the small moments.

Hey everybody, it's JJ.

And her husband, Dave.

And we are thrilled to share with you a very lovely conversation that we had with our delightful friend, Ellie Holcomb.

She's really nice.

She's kind of like sunshine personified.

Yeah, like her hair is the color of sunshine.

That is true as well.

If you are not familiar with Ellie's music, you will love it.

Ellie is a singer-songwriter here in Nashville, Tennessee, and she's married

to Drew Holcomb from Drew Holcomb and the neighbors. Ellie was in fact a part of his band for several

years, and now she has a music career all her own. She's also an author. She's written a couple of children's books. She has a new

devotional coming out this fall. She's a very busy lady. And I'm so glad that she took

time to talk with us because you guys are going to enjoy this conversation. It was really

fun for me to hear Ellie's stories because we have so much in common.

She plays music with her husband and I play music with my husband.
