Biography:
Elle King is an anti-folk artist.
Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn by her mother (after separating from her father, comedian Rob Schneider), she retains her roots in a style that blends those two worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She often draws comparisons to Billie Holiday, Duffy, Regina Spektor and Adele. Miss King cites old blues, rock n' roll, and greats like Johnny Cash as her biggest influences.
Featured in an issue of Love magazine and February's V Magazine as well as creating buzz amongst music bloggers everywhere.

Verse:
I picked up my bag. I went looking for a place to hide.

I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on. Let's go downtown."
She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around."

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog.

He said, "That's okay, boy. Won't you feed him when you can?"

Take a load off, Fanny.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, Fanny.

Get your Canonball now, to take me down the line.
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny. You know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
Chorus:
Take a load off, Fanny.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, Fanny.
And... you put the load right on me.
