About the show
Elles Bailey is one of the most distinctive voices on the British roots scene, known for her gritty, soulful vocal and deeply personal songwriting. Blending Americana, blues and country influences, she has spent the past decade building a reputation as a fiercely independent artist whose music explores resilience, connection and self-discovery.
Her latest album, Can’t Take My Story Away, marks a defining point in her journey. Created over several years, the record reflects her growth both as an artist and as a person. With themes of empowerment and freedom at its core, the album moves beyond fleeting moments to present a more complete and confident body of work.
Bailey’s songwriting is rooted in honesty. Tracks such as “Growing Roots” and “Blessed” highlight her ability to balance vulnerability with warmth, while songs like “Angel” and the title track showcase her blues and soul influences. Whether exploring love, identity or personal struggle, her music remains authentic and emotionally rich.
Her rise has been matched by widespread recognition. She has received multiple honours at the UK Americana Awards and UK Blues Awards, including Live Act of the Year and Vocalist of the Year. Her albums have also achieved strong chart success, while performances alongside artists such as Van Morrison, Jools Holland and Rag’n’Bone Man have further cemented her reputation.
As part of her 2026 tour, she will be performing live at The Civic Trowbridge.
Featuring
Elles Bailey
2019 was a hell of a year for the super-smoky-voiced, hard-working, far-touring chanteuse Elles Bailey. On 8th March, she dropped her eagerly-anticipated second album ‘Road I Call Home’ to rave reviews, with the album charting in the Official UK Country Charts & Americana charts, gaining over 1.9 million streams since its release and reaching No.1 on the Amazon Blues Bestseller chart
Like its chart-topping predecessor, ‘Road I Call Home’ features co-writing contributions from high-calibre collaborators, including British hit-making legend and Ivor Novello Award winner Roger Cook, storied Memphis and Nashville giant Bobby Wood, as well as Dan Auerbach (of Akron, Ohio powerhouses The Black Keys) on the infectious ‘Little Piece of Heaven’ which has been awarded ‘Song of the Year’ at the 2020 UK Americana Awards.
As a self-confessed ‘rolling stone’ - Elles genuinely does call ‘the road’ home. She’s continued her wide-ranging headline touring throughout the UK and Europe and was also special guest support for Grammy Award winner Mike Farris, Martin Harley, The Kris Barras Band and King King.
2018/19 has also seen Elles Bailey move up the festival listings becoming a featured artist at key festivals including Black Deer, Swing Wesplaar, Ramblin’ Man Fair, & The GB R&B Festival. She also headed stateside for the International House Of Songs Summit in Arkansas and played Nashville’s Americana Fest.
