E.J. Wells is an American musician, and songwriter. Part of the punk scene of the late 1970's, he is now considered to be a Gothabilly or Cowpunk musician.


Wells has been performing live, with various bands, since 1979. His most recent project was E.J. Wells and the Haymakers.


He released an album called Rhyolite on Halloween, 2002. Other performers on the album included Rick Nease and Chris Arduser of Adrian Belew and The Bears.

In 2003 Wells opened Happyland, a professional music recording studio.


In 2008, Wells and Dan O'Connor wrote several original songs for an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent called "Reunion," and starring veteran rocker Joan Jett.[2]
