Ladies of the Blues set to perform at The Cellar Bar in Devizes

Good news for blues fans, blues-rock enthusiasts, live music lovers and aspiring musicians in and around Devizes as three of the brightest female blues talents will be playing at The Cellar Bar on Saturday 13 May. 

The eighth night of their nine date UK Tour, Elles Bailey, Gabriella Jones and Amy Khonsari will be providing a great night of blues driven entertainment.

Bristol based Elles seamlessly weaves rootsy blues, country and soulful rock with a contemporary edge and her trademark  ‘smoky vocals’ taking the lead.  No stranger to the scene, over the last three years, this captivating, hard-working songstress and her talented band have built up a loyal all-age fan base through relentless touring, through both the UK and Europe. 

Her two EP’s, both produced by Brian Banks, (Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie) ‘Who I Am To Me’ (Feb 2015) and ‘The Elberton Sessions’ (Oct 2016) were released to critical acclaim.  Her single “Wildfire” has been played on BBC Radio 2 and Planet Rock, and her debut album is set to be released this Summer.

Gabriella is a singer songwriter from Birmingham.  She has played the Wireless Festival and Hard Rock Calling Festivals in Hyde Park along with the Isle of Wight Festival. The blues/rock singer has already supported massive acts like Bon Jovi and Slash at festivals and played at the LG Forum Live before acts such as Beyoncé, Black Sabbath and Rihanna. 

Gabriella writes her own material, plays guitar and has an extremely powerful voice and her influences range from the blues, Free, Cream, Etta James all the way to Amy Winehouse and the Artic Monkeys.   

Amy is a Nottingham born singer with Persian heritage and her passion for the blues goes as far back as she can remember.  She moved to London aged 16 gaining a scholarship for The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and has pursued a career in the music industry ever since. 

Her debut E.P. ‘All the words’ sparked huge interest from the Blues scene and resulted in support & guest slots all over the UK.  Her current project satisfies the demands of todays music fans as she brings live performance and fast digital distribution together through her own Youtube channel - Amy Sings The Blues.

Words alone cannot convey what’s in store for the audience; the only way to truly experience this is by seeing them live.
