Our Man in the Field

Winner of Emerging Act of the year + runner up Album of the year and Act of the year – “Timeless and Soulful” - Americana-UK Song of the year nominee, The Americana Music Association UK Number 3 in the European Americana Chart FATEA: "This is a special album channelling Neil Young, Van, The Allman Brothers and 90s Americana" Eve Blair BBC Radio Ulster: "There's really quite something about the mix of beautiful song-writing and those melodies" RnR Magazine (December 2020) Think of Our Man In The Field – AKA Alexander Ellis – as an independent correspondent, with his works dispatches from his travels. So classically crafted are Ellis’ songs that you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve heard Our Man In The Field somewhere before. He and his brilliant band of pedal steel, guitar, banjo, upright bass and drums (with fine harmony backing vocals) take inspiration from the alt-Americana and Caledonian soul stylings of Van Morrison, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Wilco. His own sound is indefinable yet familiar- its introspective, intimate and deeply soulful style stands comfortably alongside modern-day artists Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice, Foy Vance and Joe Purdy. Released with Rootsy on Rocksnob (Warner SE)
