Ellie Gowers has quickly become one of the most captivating voices in the UK folk scene. Hailed as “an all-singing, all-dancing folk polymath” (Jon Wilks, TradFolk), her debut album Dwelling by the Weir (2022) explored the folklore and stories of her Warwickshire roots, earning widespread acclaim and a place on the UK touring circuit.

Since then, Ellie has continued to evolve, blending her rich storytelling with contemporary influences like MIPSO and Jeff Buckley. Her latest music showcases themes of absence, longing, and connection, offering a fresh and exciting direction for fans old and new.

Following her first performance at The Spring in Autumn 2023, Ellie returns this summer after a remarkable year. With her new EP, You, The Passenger, released in November 2024, she has already gained recognition from BBC Radio 2 (Mark Radcliffe), BBC 6 Music (Lauren Laverne), and a range of high-profile playlists. After a standout tour supporting Gemma Hayes and performances at venues like the prestigious Union Chapel, Ellie’s live shows promise a mesmerising mix of heartfelt songwriting and stunning vocals.

Don’t miss the chance to welcome Ellie Gowers back to The Spring this summer – an unmissable evening of music awaits!
