Not one to sit idle, it’s the travelling, living, and returning home that fuels the reflectiveness in Ellie’s writing; weaving stories from the road and conversations with other people into her songs. Ellie’s new material sees her pushing into more emotionally spacious and contemporary territory, while retaining the grounded storytelling that first brought her acclaim with her debut album. These songs explore the aftermath of life on the road and navigate complex emotions that only early adulthood can throw at you. Since emerging on the UK folk scene with her 2022 debut album Dwelling by the Weir , Ellie has charmed audiences with songs rooted in folklore, ecology, and the nuanced stories of her hometown, Warwick. Lauded by The Guardian as “full of delicacy, precision, and gentle delight,” the album established her as a compelling new presence on the UK touring circuit and resulted in tour supports including Elephant Sessions, Blair Dunlop, and Gemma Hayes at notable venues including London’s Union Chapel. “Absolutely beautiful” (Zoe Ball) “Really impressive” (Mark Radcliffe)
