Ellie Gowers Announces Extended EP Release and Headline UK Tour – Nov’ 2025

"An all-singing, all-dancing folk polymath" – Jon Wilks, TradFolk "Full of delicacy, precision, and gentle delight" – The Guardian

“Full of delicacy, precision and gentle delight” The Guardian “Absolutely beautiful” Zoe Ball BBC Radio 2

"Really impressive” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

Rising UK folk artist Ellie Gowers has announced the release of an extended edition of her celebrated 2024 EP – You The Passenger, set to arrive this autumn — followed by a headline UK tour in November 2025.

This expanded release builds on the critical success of the original EP, which earned national airplay on BBC Radio 2 (Mark Radcliffe), BBC 6 Music (Lauren Laverne's Fantastic Beats), and RADMAC, alongside the KLOF premiere of her video “A Moment” and multiple major playlist features.

Inspired by the likes of MIPSO and Jeff Buckley, Ellie’s new material sees her pushing into more emotionally spacious and contemporary territory — while retaining the grounded storytelling that first brought her acclaim with 2022’s Dwelling by the Weir. These songs explore the aftermath of life on the road: themes of absence, longing, and emotional duality woven through rich acoustic textures and lyrical craft.

Since emerging on the UK folk scene with her 2022 debut album Dwelling by the Weir, Ellie Gowers has captivated audiences with songs rooted in folklore, ecology, and the nuanced stories of her hometown, Warwick. Lauded by The Guardian as “full of delicacy, precision, and gentle delight,” the album established her as a compelling new presence on the UK touring circuit.

While she remains deeply connected to the folk tradition, Ellie’s latest music marks a bold evolution in her sound — drawing inspiration from the likes of MIPSO and Jeff Buckley. Written in the wake of a demanding year on the road, her new material explores themes of distance, longing, and emotional duality, signalling a more expansive and contemporary direction in her songwriting.

Summer 2024 saw the release of her long-anticipated new EP- You The Passenger, which has already garnered national attention — including airplay on BBC Radio 2 (Mark Radcliffe), 6 Music (Lauren Laverne’s Fantastic Beats), and a featured spot on the RADMAC show. The video for “A Moment” premiered via KLOF, and her work continues to find support across major playlists and tastemaker outlets.

In October 2024, Ellie toured the UK supporting Gemma Hayes, with standout performances including her debut at London’s prestigious Union Chapel.

Looking ahead, an extended version of the 2024 EP is set for release in autumn 2025, accompanied by a headline UK tour in November — promising a powerful new chapter from one of the scene’s most versatile and resonant voices.
