Drawn to the communicative and bonding qualities of ‘folk’ but explorative beyond its stylistic connotations; enough of a pack member to want a band yet also keen to imbue a sense of solitude through her music, Elle Mary is an artist who operates best when balancing conflicting instincts. It’s what lies beneath the subtle tension that slightly tugs at the heart of her and The Bad Men’s acoustically-webbed slowcore minimalism.
Elle Mary & The Bad Men have performed with the likes of Barbarossa, Tara Jane O'Neil, BC Camplight, Dan Michaelson and at A Carefully Planned Festival, Sofar Sounds, BETA All Dayer, London, San Francisco, Edinburgh and Manchester.
This October Elle Mary will be embarking on a solo house concert tour, 'The Hus Haus Tour', around Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
