AUSTRALIAN singer-songwriter and Killing Heidi frontwoman Ella Hooper is set to perform at Bannockburn later this year.<\/p>\n
Hooper will take to the stage at the Railway Hotel on Friday, 4 November, and she said she\u2019s excited to play the venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard really lovely things about the place. Great atmosphere, good food, cosy pub vibes mixed in with really good acts and sound,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounds like my perfect little gig. I reckon it\u2019s my first time playing there too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t play any Killing Heidi stuff. It\u2019s all Ella Hooper solo but I do have some older releases I mix in like Low High. It\u2019s kind of folky, country, Americana-influenced sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hooper\u2019s Bannockburn show is part of a nationwide tour in support of her recently released single, Old News.<\/p>\n
The song will be part of her upcoming sophomore solo album, Small Town Temple, which Hooper wrote during lockdowns at her hometown of Violet Town.<\/p>\n
She said the songs on the album showcase a more intimate and different side to her musicality.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means going a bit deeper, going in to share a lot more of my actual personal life, not so much a character like with Killing Heidi,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re much more personal stories, more detailed. I think the singles, especially the newer single, Achilles Heel\u00b8 shows the maturity in my writing since my last release.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like the reason people follow my journey is because it keeps evolving so I get really excited to show the evolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying things live is such a delight because you get to put all that emotion in real-time.\u201d<\/p>\n
