Ella Hooper | Avoca Beach Theatre

ELLA HOOPER LIVE AT AVOCA BEACH THEATRE!

Get ready to be captivated by the incredible journey of Ella Hooper, who exploded onto the Australian music scene as a teenage prodigy. At a mere 13 years old, Triple J discovered her, and by her 17th birthday, Ella was already celebrating her first number one hit with ‘Mascara.’ At 18, she shattered barriers by becoming the first woman ever to be honoured with APRA’s Songwriter of the Year award.

Following the triumphant success with the chart-topping band Killing Heidi, Ella embarked on an exhilarating solo career. Her highly anticipated album, ‘Small Town Temple,’ penned in her beloved hometown of Violet Town, marks an exciting new chapter in her artistic journey, revealing the depths of her profoundly personal song-writing.

With a string of gold and platinum records and an impressive collection of four ARIA Awards, Ella Hooper’s dedication to her craft continues to shine. As she passionately declares in ‘Small Town Temple’: “Still strong, still on a mission.” Join us for an unforgettable performance and experience Ella’s incredible talent live!

Supported by Melody Pool

Melody Pool arrived on the Australian music scene with 2013’s The Hurting Scene, which The Australian declared Album of the Year, with the late-great music critic Iain Shedden calling it “one of the most accomplished debuts by an Australian singer-songwriter for many years”.
Rolling Stone hailed her voice as “sublime”, while The Herald Sun’s Cameron Adams described Melody’s music as “beautiful and passionate but not dumbed-down for easy digestion”.
After her acclaimed second album, 2016’s Deep Dark Savage Heart, Melody Pool retreated. She shared her battle with depression in a powerful episode of the ABC’s Australian Story, revealing she needed time away, to find out who she was without music.
Melody discovered that the music came from deep within. “Now I do music because I need to,” she says. “And I love it.”
