Elles Bailey is an award-winning, critically acclaimed artist who seamlessly straddles the worlds of Americana, Rock & 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 journeying 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."
