Meet Ebb & Nova

Ebb & Nova creatively blends indie rock with pop and folk elements, forging their own brand of infectious melodies and eclectic songwriting. Initially formed as a duo by songwriters Lauren Padgett (Vocals) and Matthew Purpora (Guitar), Ebb & Nova now includes Steven Bainbridge (Cello) and Pat Brynes (Percussion). Beyond being partners on stage, the four share a tight bond of friendship and fun that translates to their live performances and keeps audiences engaged and entertained. 

Since releasing their debut album in 2017, Ebb & Nova has opened for notable groups such as Good Charlotte, Gin Blossoms, Lewis Watson, Smash Mouth, and O-Town, while playing major festivals and stages like The Maryland State Fair, Baltimore Soundstage, Fells Point Fun Fest, Power Plant Live!, Artscape, Sandjam Fest, and more. 

In 2021, the band's second album 'Night Sounds' was released to a sold out crowd. The album showcased enchanting vocals, and stunning cello and guitar melodies that kept people dancing and cheering all night. The notable single '100 Beats' received nationwide radio airplay and thousands of music video views.

Now, the band is steadily releasing new material while continuing to gain traction with radio and news stations, social media, and streaming services. Their latest single, 'Far Away', was released on March 1st and is one of many unique singles to come out of the band. Veterans of the Maryland music scene, Ebb & Nova cherishes each opportunity to perform for their ecstatic fans and has emerged as a must see act in the region.

A beautiful ear & eye catching experience. One of those few bands that command attention in any room. One of my favorite acts in Baltimore!
