Alexander Ellis is the frontman and songwriter of OUR MAN IN THE FIELD, an Indie-Folk and Americana band. Known for evocative storytelling and heartfelt melodies, Ellis has earned acclaim through two albums: The Company of Strangers(2020) and Gold On The Horizon (2023). The debut album, The Company of Strangers, showcased Ellis’s lyrical depth and rich instrumentation, receiving praise for its authenticity and emotional resonance. Gold On The Horizon, produced by Tucker Martine (Rosanne Cash, The Decemberists), marked a major step forward. Hailed as a ”once-in-a-decade record” by music veteran Bill Bentley, the album earned spots on several ”Best Of” lists for its themes of resilience and introspection. A third album, set for June 2025, was recorded at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove studio and produced by Dire Straits’ Guy Fletcher. Featuring contributions from Ethan Johns, it promises to build on the band’s growing success.Beyond the studio, Ellis has performed at festivals like Glastonbury and Red Rooster and opened for acts such as The Delines. His passionate performances and resonant songs continue to captivate audiences, cementing his place in contemporary music.WES.
