Ella Hooper – Sat 31 Jan / Gabby Steel

Ella Hooper is hitting the road this summer bringing a sharp, heartfelt edge to her ever-evolving take on Americana.  Ella’s gift for story-telling and humour shines as she fronts a dynamic band, laced with fiddle, slide guitar, warm group harmonies and more than a little grit.

Playing some favourites from Small Town Temple the album that debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country chart, Ella will also be sharing a sneak peek of new music recorded in Nashville in 2025. 

There are bar room stompers, spectral ballads with a contemporary edge, and hooks sharp enough to draw blood. 

Call it Americana, call it alt-country, call it what you like. Hooper puts it this way: “Can you really ‘go country’ if you’re from the country in the first place?”

With special guest Gabby Steel. Gabby is a singer-songwriter whose powerful vocals and honest lyrics blend folk, contemporary blues, and soul. A seasoned performer, she’s played major festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival and Queenscliff, and shared stages with Kate Ceberano, Tex Perkins, and Karen Lee Andrews.
