Ella Thompson

**Ella Thompson with Temporary Blessing**

**This spring, Ella Thompson embarks on her first headline East Coast tour**, bringing her hypnotic, hard-hitting live show to audiences at venues and festivals including **Strawberry Fields, Town Folk, Wonder Mountain,** and the **Melbourne International Jazz Festival**. Alongside fan favourites from her breakout EP **“Domino”** and acclaimed album **Ripple on the Wing**, audiences will be the first to hear brand new material from her forthcoming second full-length album.

A musician and songwriter whose work traverses the landscape of classic and contemporary soul, Ella crafts lyrics that explore belonging - both the microscopic and the universal - inviting listeners to contemplate the vast expanse of human emotion and the interconnectedness of all things.

Raised on the music of Australian soul icon **Renée Geyer**, Ella honed her voice and vision before touring with **Mark Ronson** and supporting artists including **Jalen Ngonda, Lee Fields, Thee Sacred Souls,** and **Angel Olsen**. In the past 18 months, she has entered a prolific hot streak, with **Domino** and **Ripple on the Wing** (Hope Street Recordings) cementing her as one of the country’s most vital and creative voices in modern soul.

Ella’s collaborators hail from the forefront of Naarm/Melbourne’s soulful DIY community, featuring members of **Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo,** and other local luminaries. On stage, her commanding voice is propelled by a tasteful rhythm section and blazing horns, delivering a show that is **sweet, spooky, and irresistibly soulful**.

_“Ripple on the Wing is a soulful masterpiece.”_ – **Triple R (RRR)**

_“Australia’s Queen of Sweet Soul.”_ – **Miss Goldie (PBS)**

Joining Ella will be none other than **Temporary Blessing** \- Temporary Blessing is an ensemble assembled to realise Liam McGorry’s compositions drawing on 1960s Italian & French soundtrack music (a la Ennio Morricone, Francois de Roubaix, Piero Piccioni, Edda dell’Orso & Alain Goraguer), Temporary Blessings brings together trusted confidants & instrumentalists from Melbourne’s rich enclave of cinematic soul, members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo & Let Your Hair Down.
