**Effortlessly blending timeless soul with a distinctly modern voice, singer-songwriter Ella Thompson is one of Australia’s most exciting new artists.** Recorded live to tape with musicians from Melbourne’s celebrated independent scene, her forthcoming album Triumph & Sadness pairs richly human song writing with the chemistry and immediacy of a full live band. This show catches her at what promises to be a remarkable ascent, with a setlist spanning the full weight of real human connection.
