2020 started with a bang for the 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. Obviously that feels like a thousand years ago now but despite the global pandemic Bailey has continued performing via numerous live streams including playing Joe Bonamassa’a Album Launch Stream, dropping a critically acclaimed, award-nominated, live album ‘Ain’t Nothing But’, raising money for various charities, campaigning for Women in Music, picking up another 3 nominations in the UK Blues Awards 2021 and going on to win Artist of the Year for the second time in a row.
Luckily if you want to hear the real thing rather than through your tin(n)y computer speakers, Bailey has announced a series of tour dates which will follow appearances at selected festivals throughout the summer of 2021 including Red Rooster, a headline slot at Cheltenham Music Fest and The British Country Music Festival.
