Elles Bailey Premieres her Video For ‘Sunshine City Live At The Pool’

Multi award-winner Elles Bailey, vocalist and songwriter with the rich, soulful voice, just returned home in the UK from her headline tour to support roots rockers Kitty Daisy and Lewis in Germany. Tonight Elles opens for Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real at the O2 Kentish Town tonight (June 15th.)

‘I am a huge Lukas Nelson fan so to be given this chance to open the show at such an iconic venue is pretty darn exciting!’

To celebrate her new round of touring and festival appearances, Elles is releasing her brand-new video of ‘Sunshine in the City’, the fourth single from her hit album ‘Shining in the Half Light Deluxe Edition’, filmed at Pool Studios.

Elles says, “We rolled off our epic headline tour — which was by far my most successful to date — straight into festival season, and the band are sounding the best we have ever sounded. I am so looking forward to playing each and every festival stage I’m booked for this summer.

“I’m not gonna lie,” she adds, “it’s feeling pretty great to be heading back to Black Deer Festival alongside some of my most favourite artists, like Bonnie Raitt, then later on in the summer, I’ll be heading up to headline The Great British R&B festival, at Colne in Lancashire, which was the first ever festival to offer me a slot, so to be going back and headlining means everything!

“There are also tons of (new to me) festivals stages to grace like the inaugural Maid of Stone fest, Underneath the Stars fest, Linton Fest, Berry Bank Blues Fest, Greenbelt. and Shrewsbury Folk Fest. Plus a few select festivals abroad including playing AmericanaFest Nashville ! Yes, this summer is looking mighty fine indeed!”

Elles picked up three awards at the prestigious UK Blues Awards: Artist of The Year; Vocalist of the Year; and Album of the Year. This is Elles’ fifth award this year, having picked up Artist of the Year and Live Act of the Year at the UK Americana 2023 Awards back in January, 2023.

Building her reputation within the Blues, Americana and Rock genres earning acclaim in each of them, and earning recognition as one of the leading UK artists in her field.  But it’s the Blues that Elles feels particularly grateful for as this community welcomed her first.
