Биография

elbé is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Seamus Allen and the perfect vehicle for his indie songs that are blended with folk, traditional music and pop elements. Nora Frederich's intuitive, groove-based drumming and James Moone’s melodic and nifty bass lines make up a strong rhythm section. Emily Naughton is a vastly experienced keys player; her creative melodies dance in and out, adding colour to the songs. Songwriter Seamus Allen takes inspiration from real life experiences and day-to-day events he witnesses in his life. In an attempt to make these relatable and give meaning to the listener, he describes events in a metaphorical and poetic way. Elbé released their debut EP “Contours” in May 2019. Since then the band has played gigs around Ireland and worked with local producer and engineer Christian Best (Mick Flannery, O Emperor, Paddy Dennehy, BRIARS). elbé's latest singles have been played on BBC Ulster, BBC Introducing, FM104, Red FM, Classic Hits FM, KCLR 96fm, 98fm, Radio Nova and were added to Goldenplec's New Irish Music playlist. The band released their EP “Sonder” on the 29th of October 2021 and have plenty more songs ready for 2022! "I don’t think I’ll bother with the heating elbé have lifted the cold for me." - Indie Midlands "Mellow morning atmosphere wraps around a groovy bassline. Hum these summer hooks whenever 2020 piles more on." - UNXIGNED
