Their first album, “Night Sky,” came out in 2021. “Reflections,” their second album, came out in 2022, and “No Chance Of Going Home,” their most recent album, came out in April 2024.
My Better Half
My Better Half is a husband-and-wife team from near Charlotte that has been performing all over the Southeast since 2019. Ellen and Frank Adams make up this skilled duo. Their different vocal styles and musical skills work together to make a sound that is both old and new.
Their music is a great mix of styles from different times and genres, thanks to Ellen’s soulful voice and Frank’s guitar-driven melodies. A fun ride through some of the best music from the last 50 years, from rock and roll and old school R&B and beach music to Motown, country, and boat rock.

He has spent a lot of time learning how to write songs and perform them live. For the past few years, he has played at local events, schools, and venues.
