Hailing from the West of Ireland, Ellis has quickly established himself as one of the most compelling emerging voices in contemporary alternative music. Blending intimate folk songwriting, expansive arrangements and a strikingly expressive vocal delivery, his music bestrides multiple genres and brings both a fresh and nostalgic voice.
Ellis’ debut Australian visit follows a significant period of momentum, including a support run alongside New York’s Geese on their Getting Killed US tour, and a Mercury Prize nomination for Blizzard.

With Blizzard, Ellis has introduced audiences to a distinctive musical world, earning widespread critical acclaim for its ambitious arrangements, emotional depth and remarkable songwriting, whilst developing an increasingly devoted international following.

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke while remaining unmistakably his own, Ellis brings a rare intensity to his performances. His voice sits at the centre of everything: fragile one moment, soaring the next, carrying songs that feel both deeply personal and wonderfully expansive.
His intimate songwriting and captivating live performances have made him an artist to watch, with his arrival in Australia representing an exciting new chapter in his rapidly developing career. For local music lovers who have followed his rise from afar, March is an opportunity to experience one of Ireland's most exciting new songwriting talents up close.
