With lashings of twang and bold Americana sounds; Ella Hooper's Overnight Success era is here! Sharing tunes from her new album recorded in and with the who's who of Nashville; Ella is hitting the road with her kick-arse live band to celebrate. One of Australia's most chameleonic live performers known for her unbridled energy and off-beat charisma, Ella shows what she's really made of with a return to the classic sounds of the music that raised her. Heartfelt, lyric-driven, rambunctious one minute, capsizing you into your feels the next; an Ella Hooper live show feels like a mix of stand-up comedy meets rock and roll - both immediate and intimate. A powerhouse singer, Ella's musical range is vast and mighty. Recalling the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt spliced with a modern cheeky twist; Ella keeps things fresh even when referencing the classics. Backed by a stellar live band featuring fiddle, searing electric guitar and tight three-piece vocal harmonies; this is a chameleonic country rock show from Violet Town's poet punk princess. "I've been DYING. to tour this album! It's was literally made to be played live and that was abig part of the aesthetic I was looking for in Nashville, I wanted it to feel easy, free and like a ringing a bell.. some songs have that real solo spotlight, torch song intimacy to them, like the title track itself is a real solo belter, very red velvet curtain, very drama! And others I just let loose on.. that's my aim for every one that comes along. To have a choose your own adventure, a tasting plate if you will, of my approach to the genre I love and am playing in now - Americana, which takes in roots, rock, folk and zydeco even! In short; it's jumpin'!"

Ella will be joined by up and coming Melbourne based artist; Ruby Mae on all shows. A proud and powerful young Wiradjuri woman, Ruby has been tearing up the airwaves on Triple J and Triple M as well as gracing festival stages across the country. Gaining traction and fans everywhere she goes for her authentic, music-first approach, the wit and warmth of songs like 'Dickhead' and 'Keeper' are a perfect match for Ella's confessional, wry new material.
