Animal EP release show at Elmers Arms
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Elly Hopkins draws deep from the songbook of doo-wop, jazz, folk, and garage rock, crafting gritty-but-grooveable Americana ballads carried by big bluesy power vocals – keeping it fresh all the while. Think PJ Harvey and CMAT’s irresistible pop-rock side project; this’ll hit with fans of: Lady Lamb, Lissie, Aimee Mann, Juju."

‘If First Aid Kit had more dirt beneath their fingernails, or CMAT spent less time beneath a glitter ball and a bit more time on a dark, dust-filled highway....good for the soul' Bristol 24/7

Bristol-based alt-folk-rock artist Elly Hopkins unveils her debut EP 'Animal' — a raw, blues-soaked blend of folk rock, grunge and country.

Songs about jealousy, growth, and reclaiming your own wildness, delivered with the power of a full band and the intimacy of a confession.

****‘Joyful’ The Fix

For fans of PJ Harvey, Big Thief, Sharon Van Etten and the grittier edges of Americana.

Plus Support TBA

Entry requirements: 18+
