Nominated for ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2022 Americana Awards UK  

To an artist without the creative energy and laser-focused determination of Elles Bailey, it  could all have been very different. But when you're one the hardest-working women in  blues, rock and roots, not even the tumultuous world events of the past few years can stop  you from writing several new chapters in a remarkable story. 

Elles Bailey, the smokey voiced, human dynamo who has powered her way to the forefront  of the British blues and roots scene in recent years, finally unveiled her eagerly-awaited third  album ‘Shining in the Half Light’ in the spring of 2022. Crammed with vibrant originals  brought to life with her A-list band, it's another significant step forward in a career already  feted with awards and acclaim generated by her two previous studio sets, 2017's Wildfire  and 2019's Road I Call Home.  

Shining in the half light debuted at the top of her native genre charts: #1 in the Official Blues  charts; #2 in the Official Americana charts; and #4 in the Official Independent Charts. In a  landmark breakthrough for an independent artist, ‘Shining In The Half Light’ also appeared  on the RADAR of the UK Charts, reaching #11 in the mid-week album charts, and finishing  just a handful of sales away from the UK’s Top 40 at #42. For a fully independent artist,  without the clout of a major label, it is one hell of an achievement. 

Recorded in those ‘silent’ days during the 2020 lockdowns, all four singles have garnered  support from BBC Radio Two and Planet Rock. Cheats & Liars, Sunshine City, The Game &  Stones were all added to the Planet Rock A list playlist, with 15 weeks collectively at the top  spot on the UK Airplay Charts. The title track ‘Shining in the Half light’ received its first play,  along with an interview with Cerys Matthews on the Radio 2 Blues Show. And it not just  about getting spins on the radio for this multi talented artist- on the back of all her radio  success with Planet Rock she was offered a weekly show and you can now hear Elles every  Saturday at Midday on Planet Rock Radio, sharing her love of Rock with a sprinkling of  Americana.  

This self-confessed ‘rolling stone’ continues to do everything she can to call the road her  home. 2022 saw Elles play multiple high profile headline festival slots across the length and  breadth of the UK and into Europe, taking to the high seas to play the Joe Bonasmassa -  Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruise, opening for Blues Legend Walter Trout and joining Don  McLean on his 50th anniversary American Pie UK tour.  

Spring 2023 finally sees her able to do a full UK headline tour of Shining in the Half Light, play  three exclusive co-headline shows with Chantel Mcgregor and headline Winters End Festival  alongside Kris Barras Band and the Von Hertzon Brothers. She’s also heading out to Germany  to open for roots rockers Kitty, Daisy & Lewis in April 2023.  

Miss Bailey really does call the road home & when she arrives near you, don't think twice,  get there. A great evening and a long musical friendship will be waiting.
