Ella’s most recent album Small Town Temple debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country chart and was nominated for the prestigious Australian Music Prize. Firmly in her country era and carrying enough highs and lows to really do the genre justice, Ella is now collaborating on a new record with Grammy Award-winning Nashville stalwarts including Jim Lauderdale, Steve Poltz, Melody Walker (Sierra Ferrell) and LOLLIES aka Clare Reynolds (Rachel Baiman, Timbaland).Hooper is currently splitting her time between Nashville and Melbourne. While touring throughout Australia, she regularly visits Nashville, writing and recording the next installment of her unique and brilliant brand of Americana.
