FEATURE Kate Ellis is an Americana singer-songwriter. Born in Louisiana, USA and raised in Manhattan, she now calls London home, with her husband and guitarist Andy Hobsbawm and their two children.   Her music is highly evocative and imbued with glorious influences from her childhood: classic singer-songwriters she was brought up on, making it truly timeless.   Our Country Music Editor, Kelly Andrews, caught up with Kate ahead of an Americana showcase performance for Chelmsford Community Radio at The Bassment, Chelmsford.
