Kate Ellis

Kate Ellis headlines the Slaughtered Lamb with support from the brilliant O & O and Lucy Grubb.

Kate Ellis is an Americana singer /songwriter born in Louisiana, raised in New York and now based in London.

Kate’s southern country-folk roots come from her father who was an important early musical influence – he once played guitar with Hank Williams on the famous Louisiana Hayride, where Elvis and Johnny Cash started out.

Kate’s emotional and seductive vocals take you into a world of private beauty, reflection and feelings. The music is always intimate and evocative – you listen and want to be there.

A journalist for the Observer said: "Kate Ellis writes hauntingly beautiful songs and has an amazing voice, I'm a fan!"

"Wryly reflective, sweetly melodic, touchingly compassionate, warm-hearted." MAVERICK ★★★★

"Hits you straight in the heart. One of those artists that on first listen, you just know you’re going to love." TALK RADIO

"With her delicate, melodic music with the ring of truth to her words - and that most elusive quality, soul - Ellis joins the front rank of singer-songwriters. Highly recommended." R2 MAGAZINE ★★★★

"Quite simply a superb debut album and one that announces the arrival of a genuine talent. Ellis has a voice that is easy to love – a new Americana star of real potential." AMERICANA UK (8/10)
