Join me as I chat with Eleri in the latest episode of the Artists Behind the Music: UK Series! It's now available to watch on YouTube & IGTV!
Eleri Angharad is a country and pop artist from Swansea, Wales. Inspired by a North American road trip where she performed in Nashville, Chicago and New York; Eleri writes and performs music that captures the traditional country music storytelling with catchy pop melodies. She draws influences from James Taylor, Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and many more from that road trip.
Eleri released a handful of EP’s before capturing her sound on her 2019 debut album ‘Earthbound’. Captivated by Nashville artists’ stories of heartbreak, travelling and coming home; Eleri based her body of work travelling across the USA, Ireland and Scandinavia. The album’s title track was playlisted on the BBC Radio Wales ‘Welsh A-list’ for 5 weeks and received support from God is on the Zine TV, Welsh Soundboard Magazine, The AU review and more. Earthbound was accompanied by a 39 date tour across the UK and Europe.
‘Blank Walls’ (April 2020) amassed over 150,000 streams, international radio play and has become her most successful single to date. Her latest single ‘New Sin’ is also racking up impressive streaming numbers and has received airplay on Country Hits UK and BBC Radio Wales since its release (Nov 2020.) Eleri Angharad is a proudly independent songwriter and performer, with the next 12 months continuing to grow her fanbase, audience and sound.
Thanks for being on the show, Eleri!
