News: Ella Hooper Announces Oh My Goddess! Single Tour Starting October 2023

ELLA HOOPER ANNOUNCES  OH MY GODDESS!  SINGLE TOUR THIS OCTOBER – DECEMBER

THE FINAL TRACK FROM ALBUM  SMALL TOWN TEMPLE ,

OUT NOW – LISTEN  HERE

Ella Hooper  dug deep on her 2023 solo album,  Small Town Temple , and the story is complete with the final single from the record,  ‘Oh My Goddess!’ .  It is the sound of an artist coming to terms with her past – “ shaking my demons out ” – and asserting her independence. Pre-save / pre-add  ‘Oh My Goddess!’   HERE  ahead of September 9 release.

Ella unleashes the goddess within, declaring: “ I ain’t gonna kneel for no one. I ain’t gonna smile and sing along. I’ll be my own goddess, I’ll be my own man .”

“This song has been a clear crowd favourite ,” Ella says.  “It’s about geeing yourself up, slapping yourself on the back, accepting what you’re still working on and taking the plunge anyway.”

“It’s kind of the flip side of ‘Old News’,  the very first single, which pondered similar themes from a less convinced, confident standpoint. ‘ Oh My Goddess!’ is the results – a rallying cry! Not to sound too trite, but self-work works.” 

It’s a song that everyone can relate to.  “We all have stuff ,” Ella notes. “ And not all of it is rosy.”

Ella will hit the road this October to December on the ‘Oh My Goddess!’ single tour, with special guest Van Walker, following a star turn with James Reyne over the last few months on the Way Out West tour.

Ella explains,  “Releasing Oh My Goddess! feels like the perfect final chapter to the Small Town Temple story, which has been more colourful, busy and action packed than I could have imagined! And fittingly – so is this song! It’s an account of how the night is darkest before the dawn, and sometimes you’ve got to ‘go to goo’ to come out of the chrysalis stronger, clearer, more empowered and ready to rock. 

It’s a clear crowd favourite, I really noticed people connecting with it and made me realise we’ve all been doing our own post-covid ruminating and coming out of the challenges of the last few years, and I’m thrilled to be able to offer a song for that feeling, of breaking through. 

“Van has been a friend and inspiration for 10 years or so … his songs have soundtracked many important moments in my life. It’s going to be so fun to team up for this tour and collaborate on one of my favourite songs of his, as a special b-side for this single. He is a genuine troubadour who makes a real mark on every stage he graces. I can’t wait to combine our powers for a duet set at each of these shows, our voices are so different but complimentary, and we get to show people the kind of thing we’ve been doing around campfires and after party couches for years, on stage!”

Small Town Temple  – a deeply personal exploration of family, friendship, community and childhood memories – had a Top 10 debut on ARIA’s Australian albums chart. And it’s been the most critically acclaimed album of Ella’s career, which started when she was a teenager.

The release of ‘Oh My Goddess!’ caps a remarkable year for the singer and songwriter.  “I put big things out there and sometimes big things happen,”  Ella smiles.  “I always need new challenges, I need to throw myself curveballs, and new material is the best way of doing that.”

“It’s been a very rewarding year,”  Ella says.  “Changing things up made it all feel fresh again. And I’ve realised that making music and playing it live for people is the best job in the world.”

James Reyne and Ella Hooper Announce National Tour, Re-Record ‘Way Out West’

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

James Reyne and Ella Hooper are teaming up for an extensive national tour in support of their new single ‘Way Out West’. ‘Way Out West’ was first recorded by Reyne with fellow songwriter James Blundell way back in 1992, a cover of the 1973 song by the Dingoes.

Hooper and Reyne’s version will be released on Friday, 21st April, and the two will embark on a tour from late May and through June, July, and August, with shows scheduled across the country. You can see the full dates and details below.

James Reyne & James Blundell: ‘Way Out West’

“When James came to me with this idea – I was like – hell yeah!” Said Hooper in a statement about the collab. “I’ve always adored that song, it’s got such a lovely, laconic feel to it and it’s such a unique Australian song too. I used to belt out this song growing up in the country, it’s a dream to be doing it for real with James. It definitely deserves another spin!”

In a 2021 interview with Music Feeds , Reyne reflected on the unexpected success and Blundell’s cover, which is arguably better known than the original.

“[Managers] Brad and Chris put the idea to me – I can’t take credit for it myself – where they asked if I’d want to cut a country song with an Australian country singer,” Reyne reflected. “I thought it was a great idea, but I didn’t really know anybody in that world apart from meeting Lee Kernaghan once or twice at the ARIAs or something like that.

“James Blundell came to me because I’d seen him on  The Midday Show  or something like that. I didn’t know anything about him, per se, except for one thing: Every time he was on screen, women would go absolutely nuts. [laughs] I was like, ‘Right! That’s a good start.'”

Reyne’s last release was Live in The Corner Hotel Front Bar in 2022, while Hooper released Small Town Temple in January 2023.

ELLA HOOPER announces ‘Old News’ single tour dates for October & November

23 August 2022 The Rockpit

Following the release of her hypnotic new single   OLD NEWS,   Ella Hooper has today announced a national run of tour dates to showcase the track live, along with a selection of new material and some old favourites!

The tour will commence in WA on October 20, before moving on to Victoria, SA and QLD, and winding up in Sydney with Mary’s Underground on November 25 and Centro, Wollongong on November 26. It also includes what will no doubt be a massive night for Cup Eve at Northcote Social Club in Melbourne (Monday October 31). Tickets for all shows on sale now – head to   www.ellahoopermusic.com

Ella Hooper said today,  “I can’t   wait   to embark on a run of tour dates across the country! It’s been so long since I’ve been able to release new music then hit the road  and  show it off! Playing live is something sacred to me, I like to give it my all. I’ve got a hot 5-piece band backing me to deliver the songs IRL, I can’t wait to see everyone again!”

Old News   represents a new chapter in Ella’s storied career.  It was written with American country artist Sara Douga, who she met in Nashville in 2017, produced by Marcel Borrack and Tim Harvey, and features rising star Gena Rose Bruce on backing vocals. The track has been warmly embraced by global streaming platforms, added to more than 300 Playlists in less than a week.

Download/stream   Old News   HERE .

Old News   has been hailed as a new beginning for Ella, who was still a teenager when she burst onto the Australian music scene fronting Killing Heidi.

It’s worth recapping Killing Heidi’s remarkable success. They scored their first number one single, ‘Mascara’, on Ella’s 17 th   birthday. And their debut album,   Reflector , was one of the fastest-selling Australian albums of all time, spending six weeks at number one, going five times platinum, and winning four ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year.

“For a long time, I felt awkward about my success, that I had to apologise for it,” Ella reveals. “Becoming a bit of an overnight success with Killing Heidi really presented its challenges. I’ve had a complicated relationship with my career, but I don’t feel hamstrung by that anymore.”

“I guess   Old News   is a message to myself,” she adds. “It’s okay to be ambitious and still have dreams.”

Old News   … a new start and a stunning solo single from one of Australia’s most-loved singer songwriters.

Ella Hooper To Kick Off Small Town Temple Tour in January

by Paul Cashmere on December 5, 2022

Ella Hooper will tour Small Town Temple from late January and all across February 2023.

Ella said, “Hitting the road with this record feels like light at the end of a long tunnel. Recording it was a powerful healing process but touring it – well that’s just a crazy amount of fun and release! It’s joy, it’s life…the crowds with their energy and enthusiasm make it so.

“On tour I relish the small but ‘extra’ things like selling unique merch – scented candles, enamel pins, but I’m most excited about the limited edition cloud coloured vinyl! Available for pre-order now! This item is a dream come true, it perfectly fits the Small Town Temple aesthetic.

“I am so proud of this record and the live band that’s behind me at the moment. It feels like the highlight of my solo career, so far!”

Ella recently appeared on the 7 Telethon in Perth.

Ella Hooper announces ‘Small Town Temple’ Australian tour for 2023

The album itself is due out on January 20

Ella Hooper – best known as the frontwoman of ‘90s pop-rock staples Killing Heidi – has announced a national tour in support of her forthcoming second solo album, ‘Small Town Temple’.

The run will begin in Barwon Heads, where on Saturday January 28, Hooper and her band will perform at the Wonderland Spiegeltent. The following month will see her travel to a mix of capital cities and regional locations – heading down the coast of NSW, she’ll perform in Newcastle, Sydney and Cronulla, before heading home to Victoria for shows in Bundalaguah and Archies Creek.

Midway through February – on Thursday 16 – Hooper will return to northern NSW for a show in Brunswick Heads, heading from there to Brisbane to play the Woolly Mammoth the following night (February 17). Finally, rounding out the tour will be gigs in Melbourne and Adelaide on Sunday February 19 and Friday 24, respectively.

In a press release, Hooper said of the monthlong trek: “Hitting the road with this record feels like light at the end of a long tunnel. Recording it was a powerful healing process but touring it – well that’s just a crazy amount of fun and release! It’s joy, it’s life… the crowds with their energy and enthusiasm make it so.”

She went on to explain how she “relish[es] the small but ‘extra’ things like selling unique merch”, hinting that “scented candles” and “enamel pins” will be available at her stall, alongside a limited “cloud coloured” vinyl record. On the lattermost offering, she gushed: “This item is a dream come true, it perfectly fits the ‘Small Town Temple’ aesthetic.”

On her current solo band setup, she added: “I am so proud of this record and the live band that’s behind me at the moment. It feels like the highlight of my solo career, so far!”
