This November, singer-songwriter Ellie Williams returns to Exeter Phoenix to preview tracks from her forthcoming album, Osito.

Ellie made a name for herself with her debut album Unseen, which broke fan-funding records, and Fin’s Song, which raised funds for NSPCC and reached Number One in the Amazon MP3 charts. Thyroid Cancer halted Ellie’s progress However, less than 10 months after beginning treatment, Ellie followed a sold out show at Exeter Phoenix with a UK tour in support of her 2nd album, Hope, supporting acclaimed artists such as Suzanne Vega, Joan Armatrading, Seth Lakeman, Midge Ure, The South and Steve Knightley. Joan Armatrading went on to feature Ellie’s track Lay on BBC Radio 2.

Osito was written over the last year with new band mate Dave Ankers. The tracks reflect on the experiences of the last few years in a positive, uplifting way. The album will be released to the general public in 2016, but will be available exclusively after this performance and through the Pledge Music campaign.

Tickets £8 (£6)
