Bristol isn’t the first name that springs to mind when you mention country music that’s why Elles Bailey immersed herself in Nashville for second album ‘Road I Call Home’, co-writing and recording with the best musicians the town has to offer.

But that’s not what makes Elles Bailey one of the hottest up and coming properties in country music, it’s her voice, which she was gifted like a superhero in a Marvel movie following a childhood illness.

“the husky vocals… I got those from a pretty serious stint in hospital as a little child, spending 17 days a coma! When I came out of it and starting talking again my voice had completely changed!”

You can experience Elles Bailey’s not so secret weapon when whe plays Whelan’s on March 7th, the day before ‘Road I Call Home’ is released into the wild

Elles Bailey plays Upstairs at Whelan’s on March 7th, 2019. Tickets €15.60.
