Ellie Gowers - ShireFolk presents
- 25th June
About This Event
ShireFolk brings exceptional artists in the Folk & Roots scene to pop-up spaces in Worcestershire, Herefordshire & Shropshire.
*“Really impressive”*Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Since emerging on the UK folk scene with her 2022 debut album Dwelling by the Weir, Ellie Gowers has captivated 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. While she remains deeply connected to the folk tradition, Ellie’s latest music marks a bold evolution in her sound — drawing inspiration from the likes of MIPSO and Jeff Buckley. Written in the wake of a demanding year on the road, her new material explores themes of distance, longing, and emotional duality, signalling a more expansive and contemporary direction in her songwriting. Summer 2024 saw the release of her long-anticipated new EP- You The Passenger, which has already garnered national attention — including airplay on BBC Radio 2 (Mark Radcliffe), 6 Music (Lauren Laverne’s Fantastic Beats), and a featured spot on the RADMAC show. The video for “A Moment” premiered via KLOF, and her work continues to find support across major playlists and tastemaker outlets. In October 2024, Ellie toured the UK supporting Gemma Hayes, with standout performances including her debut at London’s prestigious Union Chapel. *“Absolutely beautiful”*Zoe Ball BBC Radio 2
