Kate Ellis is a Louisiana-born singer-songwriter who uses melancholy Americana and Folk to conduct fearless soul-searching.

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.

A journalist for the Observer described hauntingly beautiful songs while Folk Radio UK said her second album Spirals was “Beguilingly sung, melodic, warm, tender, open and insightful – an early contender for the year’s best-of lists.” BBC Radio simply said, “Kate Ellis put down her law degree to pick up a guitar – thank God she did!”

"Spirals is an absolute joy. An irrefutable, unquestionable joy." AMERICANA UK (9/10)
"Wryly reflective, sweetly melodic, touchingly compassionate, warm-hearted." MAVERICK ★★★★
"Delicate, melodic music with the ring of truth to her words - and that most elusive quality, soul." R2 MAGAZINE ★★★★
