Brisbane: Album Launch & Ella's Birthday
“Cooktown singer-songwriter Ella Hartwig is risking it all by making a controversial move for the release of her debut album... Putting months of work and tens of thousands of dollars on the line in a bid to better connect with fans, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter said ‘Take Me South’ would not be available anywhere online, and instead, listeners would need to go retro and purchase a CD.” - Cape York Weekly, 2024.
Join Ella Hartwig and her band to celebrate both her 22nd birthday and the physical release of her 13-track country/folk record.
During her Debut National Australian Tour, Ella decided to release her album as a physical exclusive. Following five digital singles, the complete 13-track country/folk record is currently exclusively available on CD!
Mark your calendar for February 22, to celebrate Ella’s birthday and her album Take Me South. “Two years of writing and seventeen months of recording into 44-minutes of sound and a square package” - Live Wire, 2024.
“Not everyone comes from a small town, but everyone comes from somewhere. I feel super lucky to be proud of the remote area that I grew up in and the support that flourished from that”.
***Venue and age accessibility is TBA!
