Golden Bough sings Travelin' Tunes

the Best of American Folk

Intrigue, double-cross, feminine wiles, and fabulous songs.


A musical tale from the time when movies were black and white and the singers were sizzling.


The plot? Classic Film Noir.  

Lonely guy meets beautiful dame.

Lonely guy falls for beautiful dame.

It is all downhill, from there.  

For him, that is.


An irresistible songstress, memorable tunes, and a clever con.  All revealed with music, song, and vintage film clips, woven into a new stage show.


What’s more fun than going to the movies?

Going to the movies with the music of Laura Ellis singing Temptation, Again, That Old Black Magic, and Put the Blame on Mame.


Featuring stage-broadcast singer Laura Ellis, her Jazz Noir band, voice-over by Phil Crowley.  Video editing by Luke Ellis with scenes from public domain film Detour.


Watch the Hollywood Newreel clip for

The Hollywood Magic of Femme Fatale - the intro to the show, fashioned like a 1050's newsreel.

"Meshing together vintage films and live music, Laura Ellis has created a wonderfully entertaining theatrical experience truly worth seeing."
