A live concert with award-winning singer-songwriter Ella Hooper. Best known for her work in rock band Killing Heidi, Ella is now a flourishing solo artist who releases lyric-driven country, folk and Americana. Joining her on electric guitar, dobro and harmonica is Michael Hubbard (The Blue Bottles, Eagle and the Worm) and stalwart of the Melbourne folk scene, multi-instrumentalist, Lucy Rash (Watty Thompson, Grace Cummings) - on keys, synthesizer and fiddle. Featuring tight three-part harmonies, this trio is one of Ella’s favourite ways to play - bringing just enough power to get the crowd rocking yet remaining delicate enough to capture every word.
With her sharp, heartfelt take on Americana, Ella brings swagger and soul to every stage. A magnetic performer with an undeniable live presence, she connects instantly with audiences - her shows are electric, energetic and impossible to forget.
A beloved Australian artist, ex-teenage rockstar, multi-award-winning songwriter, radio and TV host, proud small-town girl and lifelong Americana devotee, Ella was raised on Linda Ronstadt and is today inspired by genre-defying storytellers like Jenny Lewis and Sierra Ferrell. Her new country / Americana tunes spring from those roots - live shows delivered with the fire of a rocker, the pen of a poet and a cheeky regional Australian humour that is all her own.
