jazzamatazz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Tuesday 19th October Leeds based Ellen and the Escapades are finding themselves firmly at the front of the alt-folk wave, currently sweeping the UK and beyond. Amongst their influences they cite legend’s such as Neil Young and Fleetwood Mac, as well as more contemporary acts such as Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne, to name but a few. Debut Single “Without You” attracted plaudits and the attentions of both local and national radio stations and anticipation and expectations are growing ahead of the first Ellen and the Escapades EP, due out early this summer. The band spent the summer months playing festivals in the UK and completed their first mini European tour, before returning to the UK to perform on the prestigious BBC Introducing stages at Leeds and Reading Festivals. Summer 2010 is shaping up to be a great one for the band, with festivals apperances at already booked for Glastonbury, Larmer Tree, Beverley Folk Festival, Live at Leeds and Moor Music Festival. With a new release on the way and an ever expanding diary, it’s looking like a good year for Ellen and the Escapades. http://www.ellenandtheescapades.com/ support from Arkham Karvers & Roaming Sons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
