Kate Ellis 

is an Americana singer /songwriter born in Louisiana, raised in New York, and now based in London.

Kate’s southern country-folk roots come from her father who was an important early musical influence – he once played guitar with Hank Williams on the famous Louisiana Hayride, where Elvis and Johnny Cash started out.

Kate’s emotional and seductive vocals take you into a world of private beauty, reflection and feelings. The music is always intimate and evocative – you listen and want to be there.

Kate says. “I hope that whatever people get from the music, they’ll be moved. I hope that they’ll find something that is beautiful and truthful. I don’t think that you can connect with any real emotion without truth.”

A journalist for the UK Observer newspaper said: "Kate Ellis writes hauntingly beautiful songs and has an amazing voice, I'm a fan!"

"Wryly reflective, sweetly melodic, touchingly compassionate, warm-hearted." MAVERICK ★★★★

"Delicate, melodic music with the ring of truth to her words. Highly recommended." R2 MAGAZINE ★★★★

"Quite simply a superb debut album – a new Americana star of real potential." AMERICANA UK (8/10)

"Kate Ellis put down her law degree to pick up a guitar – thank god she did!.” BBC RADIO ULSTER
