Subterranean Sounds presents Our Man in the Field, the vehicle for the songwriting talents of Alex Ellis.

The UK native, now based in Portland, Oregan will perform as part of a four piece band for their Subterranean Sounds gig.

Their recent abum, GOLD ON THE HORIZON, cemented the band’s position as one of the most exciting and talked about acts currently on the Americana scene. Recorded in Portland, Oregon under the watchful eye of Producer Tucker Martine who has previously worked with some of the cream of the Americana music genre including such luminaries as The Jayhawks, First Aid Kit, My Morning Jacket, and Rosanne Cash, which along with a strong supporting cast of musicians immediately suggests that things have come along way since the release of the debut album, musically as well geographically.

In his own words  "I think of Our Man In The Field as kind of a character and not really even me,” says Ellis. “Something like a Jack Kerouac or an Albert Camus. A writer and a correspondent, a roving reporter but more like a TV version in the ‘70s; Hunter S Thompson but less guns and LSD. Mostly, I don’t want the listener to think about the songs as being mine or about me, it’s more about the story and the characters in there. They’re always about real people and hopefully that makes them relatable.”

This is sure to be a special gig in the intimate environs of Phil Grimes Pub, Waterford. Book early.
