Folk Bands and Artists
Ellie Rose Rusbridge
Born to classical and folk musician parents, ELLIE RUSBRIDGE was brought up singing everything from German leider to Gaelic ballads and English madrigals. Her Bristol adolescence was sound-tracked by heroines Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Martha Wainwright. This eclecticism plays out in a remarkably original artist, her songs are intricate in detailed arrangement, rich in melody and sensitively bound in poetic sentiment.
“Dusk-lit songs, strong and tender and sung in a voice that curls darkly at the edges in a way that’ll entice fans of Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor” – Time Out Magazine
“A rare and totally individual talent… Her music straddles folk, pop and classical and cannot be easily pigeonholed into any genre. In a favourite song of mine, ‘Hejira Again’, she responds to Joni Mitchell’s 1976 album and reveals a humility and awareness of the rich heritage of female singer-songwriters into which she has stepped. ” – Sam Lee, Folk Musician, founder of The Nest Collective.
