Eleni Drake brings her richly textured, emotionally direct live show to YES this summer, touring her most recent album Chuck.
Hailing from West London, Drake is a singer, songwriter and producer whose work blends indie, blues and jazz influences into warm, introspective arrangements. Her music is self-produced in origin but has steadily expanded in scope, moving from home recordings into fuller studio-realised work while retaining its intimate, personal core.
Released in 2025, Chuck marks a step forward in both sound and scale, recorded at Voltaire Studios with producer Frank Colucci and a full cast of collaborating musicians. The record reflects on emotional upheaval and recovery, balancing vulnerability with a growing sense of clarity and strength.
Across the album, Drake explores the shifting dynamics of love, loss and self-understanding, building songs that are understated but emotionally weighty. That same balance carries into her live performances, where subtle arrangements and expressive vocals create a quietly commanding atmosphere.
With growing recognition across tastemakers and radio, Eleni Drake continues to develop a sound rooted in honesty, detail and careful musical craft.
