AELIUS RISING #2: Hels Pattison at The Globe, Newcastle

AELIUS ALTERNATIVE PRESENTS AELIUS RISING 

Hels Pattison is an alt-country/indie musician and known for her ethereal vocals, she has captivated audiences and gained a grassroots following across the North East. Her debut EP ‘Just what I Do’, released January 2025, has earned support from BBC Introducing, leading to a live session on the North East show and an opening slot at the ‘BBC Introducing Live From The Glasshouse’ series in April 2025. Drawing influences from artists like Maggie Rogers and Mary Chapin Carpenter, she has been praised by local magazines as “startlingly magnificent” with “powerful, classic song writing”. Hels' lyrics are both relatable and steeped in traditional country storytelling, making her a unique and compelling voice in the alt-country/indie genre. She will be supported by CRANE HOUSE and Fawns!
