In-Demand Guitarist/Data Nerd Ellen Angelico Picks Her Own Path
I first encountered Ellen Angelico three years ago through her edu-taining videos and social posts for Fanny’s House of Music, the charming East Nashville shop that narrowly avoided total destruction in the 2020 tornado. Ellen was a bit tornadic herself, demoing instruments, critiquing them in real time, and dropping gems of snark and nerdishness on her YouTube series “Ellen’s Favorite Thing At Fanny’s Of The Week,” which ran from pre-pandemic until last year. Eventually, I came to understand the bigger picture. Angelico is a busy studio and stage musician with a rising profile in the Nashville indie universe. In 2020 she landed an Americana Instrumentalist of the Year Award nomination. I kept seeing her credit on albums. So I sought her out for a chat.

Vanderbilt lands power hitting infielder from James Madison in transfer portal
Vanderbilt is doing their part to keep up in the loaded SEC, snagging a commitment from second baseman Mike Mancini out of James Madison in the transfer portal on Monday. Mancini exploded as a sophomore for the Dukes this past season, slashing .329/.419/.587 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI, and 29 stolen bases. He was the 70th ranked player in the transfer portal according to 64 Analytics. Mancini is perhaps most known for hitting a combined four home runs on one day against South Carolina and NC State in the Raleigh Regional this past season. The 20-year-old also hit well in the Appalachian League in 2023 – slashing .318/.438/.424 – although he is struggling a bit with Orleans in the Cape Cod League this summer. Vanderbilt has solid infield depth but was lacking power and speed in a big way last season, and in an extremely deep SEC that resulted in a 13-17 record in conference play and a fourth place finish in the East behind Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia.
