Two of the UK’s most compelling singer-songwriters, Our Man in the Field (Alex Ellis) and Matt Owens (founding member of Noah and The Whale), join forces for a special double-headliner tour. Each night, the pair will perform individual sets showcasing their finest work, followed by a collaborative performance blending their distinctive styles into something truly unforgettable.
Our Man in the Field has been hailed as “a voice full of soul and longing” (Americana UK), drawing comparisons to the likes of Ray LaMontagne and Damien Rice. After a whirlwind year performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Red Rooster, and Maverick, as well as supporting The Delines and Chuck Prophet on tour, Alex Ellis continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt storytelling and mesmerising vocals. With his highly anticipated third album set to be recorded at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove studio under the guidance of producer Guy Fletcher, 2025 promises to be a landmark year.
Matt Owens brings a wealth of experience and charm, having co-founded the chart-topping band Noah and The Whale and later carving out a successful solo career. Described as “one of the UK’s best Americana voices” (RnR Magazine), his solo albums have been lauded for their raw honesty and evocative songwriting. A master storyteller with a knack for engaging audiences, Owens has earned praise for his “rousing and deeply moving” performances (Folk Radio UK).
Together, Our Man in the Field and Matt Owens promise an evening of unforgettable music, showcasing the very best of British Americana and folk talent. Don’t miss the chance to see these two extraordinary artists share the stage on this intimate and exclusive tour.
