Embargoed until further notice.

2020 started with a bang for the super-smoky-voiced, hard-working, far-touring chanteuse Elles Bailey when “Little Piece of Heaven” written with storied Memphis and Nashville giant Bobby Wood, & Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) picked up ‘UK Song of the Year’ at the UK Americana Awards. It’s taken from her chart topping sophomore album ‘Road I Call Home’ which was released to rave reviews and awarded ‘Album of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards. The album charted in both the Official UK Country Charts & Americana charts, has gained over 3.7 million streams since its release and reached No.1 on the Amazon Blues Bestseller chart. 

Adding to Elles’ string of awards she also picked up the high accolade of ‘Artist of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards.  As a self-confessed ‘rolling stone’ - Elles continued her wide-ranging headline touring throughout the UK and Europe in 2019 and early 2020 as well as being special guest 
support for Grammy Award winner Mike Farris, The Kris Barras Band and King King. She also shared the stage with Beth Hart at Ramblin’ Man, The Temperance Movement at Swing Wespelaar and appeared at Nashville’s Americana Fest as part of the ‘House of Songs’ collaboration. 

Despite the global pandemic Elles has continued being the hardworking performer she is, doing many live streams, dropping a critically acclaimed, award nominated, live, acoustic album 'Ain't Nothing But', raising money for various charities, campaigning for Women in Music and picking up another 3 nominations in the UK Blues Awards 2021 and winning Artist of the Year for the second time in a row.

She will be releasing a brand new studio record in Sept 2021 & touring shall begin again in October, November & December (covid restrictions permitting )

Miss Bailey really does call the road home & when she arrives near you, don't think twice, get there.  A great evening and a long musical friendship will be waiting.

Elles bailey is an award-winning, critically acclaimed artist who straddles the worlds of Americana & Blues.

Some of those awards include: UK song of the Year 2020 at the Americana Awards UK. Album of the Year 2020 and 2023 at the UK Blues Awards. Artist and Live Act of the Year 2023 at the Americana Awards UK. Vocalist of the Year 2023 at the UK Blues Awards and Artist of the Year 2020, 2021 and 2023 at the UK Blues Awards – a “threepeat” victory that saw her excluded from any further wins but inducted her into the UK Blues Hall of Fame.

After shaking off the long-tail of Covid restrictions and finally being able to properly tour her third album in 2023, last summer she immediately set to work writing the songs for what would become her fourth album.

Some 40 compositions, a Nashville writing trip and a typically no-messing recording session in Devon later, Bailey – backed in the studio by her red-hot live band – had nailed her glorious fourth album, Beneath the Neon Glow.

The album releases on the 9th August, 2024.

Elles says: “I very much feel like this album was about exploring all the different parts that make me, me. I've done a lot of a journey into who I am. We're not ever just one thing, we're constantly changing and learning, growing, becoming parents,” says a musician who had her first child around the time of her last album. “All of that has channelled into my songwriting."

“I love this idea of neon glow. As an artist you're always surrounded by lights. There's always this haze around you. But I battled so much with impostor syndrome this last year,” she admits. “Listening to my voice, I've wanted to go back in and re-record all the vocals. I constantly don't feel like I'm good enough... So that's what Beneath the Neon Glow is for me: all these hidden things that you try to keep down and put in their place. It's the chaos beneath what everyone else sees.”

On this fourth album, Elles Bailey can alchemise that chaos into something that only she can do: a powerful, emotional, uplifting music we might call Americana Britannica.
