LONDON, UK - (16th March 2018)
One
of the most celebrated forces to breakthrough in country music, Lindsay Ell, took time out of her packed US
touring schedule last weekend to come to London for the genre’s biggest weekend
in the UK - Country to Country (C2C)
Festival - and by all accounts has emerged as one of the highlight acts. Having
released the UK edition of the #1 debut album THE PROJECT Friday (9th
March) she performed no less than five sets across the festival, culminating in
a main arena slot on Sunday, before headliners Emmylou Harris and Little Big
Town took to the stage, and Ell closed the weekend with a late-night aftershow
party set.
During this week the singer-songwriter, who has received national radio play for her singles ‘Waiting On You’ and ‘Criminal’ and rave reviews for the album (5* in Maverick Magazine), took part in a series of co-headline dates with Sugarland star - and ‘The Project’ producer - Kristian Bush across the UK, with a packed final show last night in Manchester.

Praising her C2C performances, The Digital Fix described the “mind bendingly brilliant guitar-led sound… Ell is totally taking her brand of GRL PWR places”; while leading teen station Wizard Radio, who had ‘Criminal’ at the #1 country airplay slot all weekend, said “Ell took over the Spotlight Stage, shining a light as one of the most exciting female rockers… the short set was a crowd-pleaser proving that she has everything it takes to become a major player on the scene”.

Named one of The Huffington Post’s
“Top Country Artists to Watch,” Lindsay Ell is a triple threat:
accomplished musician, unique vocalist and songwriter.
The
young Calgary native learned to play guitar while traveling with her father to
country-bluegrass camps as a young girl. Ell honed her craft as a musical
stylist and songwriter after being discovered by BTO and The Guess Who’s Randy Bachman (“American Woman” /

multi-instrumentalist was soon touring alongside the likes of Luke Bryan, Buddy
Guy, The Band Perry and Keith Urban, as well as wowing audiences as Carrie
Underwood’s guitar player live on the 50th Annual “CMA Awards” and holding her own
alongside icon Melissa Etheridge on Skyville Live.
A CMT Music Award and Canadian Country Music Award nominee, Ell exhilarated audiences from coast-to-coast as part of the 2016 CMT Next Women of Country Tour and is featured on Brad Paisley’s 2017 Weekend Warrior World Tour. Ell’s debut album 'The Project' - named by Billboard as the Best Country Album of 2017 - is out now in the UK/Ireland on CD & to download/stream.
