Event information

We are delighted to welcome the wonderful Ellie Gowers back to Otley.

Ellie is a songwriter and guitarist from Warwickshire. What grew from a childhood love of literature and traditional folk song is a carefully crafted and emotionally mature catalogue of original material, referencing artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, and Laura Marling.

Bringing to the stage a strong voice full of expression and maturity, her songs are written with sociological, ecological, and personal themes in mind. These songs, at times, are sensitive and tender, but are not without the fiery and darker discourse that have seen Ellie labelled “dynamic” and “one to watch”.

2022 is set to be a big year for Ellie. She starts the year writing music for a BBC Radio 3 production to be aired in March, and will be touring the UK as Blair Dunlop’s special guest on his 20 date UK spring tour. In late Spring her highly anticipated debut album "Dwelling by the Weir" is set to be released. Weaving the past, present, and future together, the album is an exploration of the folklore, stories, and people that made her home county of Warwickshire what it is today.
