Ella Spencer was set to be a musician from the day sixties legend and god of Hellfire, Arthur Brown, blessed her in her mother’s womb!

​

She was born to British-American parents in London but raised in rural Suffolk where her father started the UK’s first Americana music festival. Ella spent her school years studying classical piano and viola but roots musicians were always in and out of the house and their music began to rub off on her. So much so that in her early twenties she decided to focus on the music she had been raised on.

 

Accompanying herself on piano, guitar and occasionally banjo, her unique voice and distinctive songs have enchanted many at the UK’s Americana hotspots and across festival stages in the UK and US. Ella will be kicking off 2025 with a debut showcase at the UK Americana Music Association’s Americana Week in London and the release of ‘Warning Signs’, the second single recorded at the Panther studio in Portland, Oregon co-produced by Jerry Joseph and Steve Drizos, before heading to Montreal for Folk Alliance in February.

​

“I Never Told You About Oregon is one of those songs that is

universally understood and felt and it’ll be one she plays,

no doubt, for years and years...”
