Description
This spring, Ella Thompson embarks on her first headline East Coast tour, bringing her hypnotic, hard-hitting live show to audiences at venues and festivals including Strawberry Fields, Town Folk, Wonder Mountain, and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. Alongside fan favourites from her breakout EP “Domino” and acclaimed album Ripple on the Wing, audiences will be the first to hear brand new material from her forthcoming second full-length album.
A musician and songwriter whose work traverses the landscape of classic and contemporary soul, Ella crafts lyrics that explore belonging - both the microscopic and the universal - inviting listeners to contemplate the vast expanse of human emotion and the interconnectedness of all things.
Raised on the music of Australian soul icon Renée Geyer, Ella honed her voice and vision before touring with Mark Ronson and supporting artists including Jalen Ngonda, Lee Fields, Thee Sacred Souls, and Angel Olsen. In the past 18 months, she has entered a prolific hot streak, with Domino and Ripple on the Wing (Hope Street Recordings) cementing her as one of the country’s most vital and creative voices in modern soul.
Ella’s collaborators hail from the forefront of Naarm/Melbourne’s soulful DIY community, featuring members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, and other local luminaries. On stage, her commanding voice is propelled by a tasteful rhythm section and blazing horns, delivering a show that is sweet, spooky, and irresistibly soulful.
“Ripple on the Wing is a soulful masterpiece.” – Triple R (RRR)
“Australia’s Queen of Sweet Soul.” – Miss Goldie (PBS)
