Her magnificent voice \u2013 instantly recognisable, full of grit \u2013 weaves stories of resilience and survival, of hope and new beginnings. In her music, we find liberation as she picks at the threads of human connection, carefully unravelling the truths we might not have realised about ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Luke Potashnick and recorded with a stellar lineup of musicians separate from her live band, the eleven tracks of <em>Can\u2019t Take My Story Away<\/em> tie together to form the album Elles has been destined to make. An honest and vulnerable glimpse into Elles\u2019 story, the record was created over a three year period, using songs whose origins can be traced back almost 10 years,\u00a0<em>Can\u2019t Take My Story Away\u00a0<\/em>is Elles\u2019 life placed carefully together to form a dazzling, kaleidoscopic story.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elles Bailey - Growing Roots (Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tFymA2DPyoE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201c<em>There\u2019s definitely an empowerment to this record,<\/em>\u201d Elles says. \u201c<em>I feel like that has actually evolved since I first started making it \u2013 as though I was a different person.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>She continues,<em> \u201cthere is a quiet strength running through this album and a deep-rooted honesty and whilst there are some moments that reflect on some of the hardest chapters of my story, there\u2019s a feeling of joy threaded through every note.

A groove filled track, the shimmer and sway of the instrumentation take a backseat to Elles\u2019 raw, soulful vocals. \u201c<em>The track is a love song about finding your person\u2014the one who makes you want to set aside your gypsy heart and finally settle down,<\/em>\u201d Elles says of the record. \u201c<em>It\u2019s about choosing to put down roots and to grow together but it is also about what that person teaches you, who you are when you\u2019re with them, and the beauty of truly living in the moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While this album marks a departure from Elles\u2019 previous work and was recorded with new musicians, her long-standing touring band will return for all the live performances. They will head out on a run of UK and EU dates through February and March 2026 to support the record. Kicking off at Im Wizermann in Stuttgart on February 20th, the 11 date tour includes a date at London\u2019s Islington Assembly Hall on March 19th and a hometown show at Bristol\u2019s Electric on March 21st. Elles will also play a very special date at Sun, Sand and Soul Festival in Miramar Beach in Florida with Jason Isbell &amp; The 400 Unit and Drive-By Truckers on Friday April 24th. \u00a0<strong>More info\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesbailey.com\/tour\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026-19x24.jpg 19w, https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026-29x36.jpg 29w, https:\/\/www.therockpit.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Elles-Bailey-UK-Tour-Dates-2026-38x48.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With <em>Can\u2019t Take My Story Away\u00a0<\/em>Elles cements herself as one of the most exciting talents in the UK.
