Who are we chatting to and what do you do in the band? Elsie – I’m a singer and songwriter that goes by the name Elsie and The Vibe.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like? If you threw soul, pop and R&B into a giant pot, added some ‘60s flavouring, seasoned with a touch of Amy Winehouse and The Supremes then garnished with spicy musicians, you’d create Elsie and The Vibe.
What do you love about making music? Making music is the truest expression of who I am. I’ve been writing songs since I was about 14 and it’s always been something I’ve used as an emotional release. When I’m writing, or playing music, I’m completely in the moment, and the world becomes timeless.
What can a punter expect from your live show? A huge sound, harmonies for days, sick grooves and motown rhythms – you’ll definitely want to move your feet. The overarching theme of the new EP is about finding strength in vulnerability, so we really lay it all out there.
What can we expect from the gig?The vibe will be made up of some killer musicians and there’ll be great feature acts too. I’m also really excited to have Anthony Young and The Next Man Dead plus Kye as support acts for the night.
