Elana Stone
“Always compelling, moving across genres and emotional registers by turns powerful, theatrical and vulnerable”
– Sydney Morning herald
Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Elana Stone is an ARIA Award-winning musician whose style combines instrumental invention with quirk, and inclines to write pop that is by turns exultant or introspective. Elana’s music encompasses folk, modern electronica, indie pop and balladry, underpinned by Stone’s signature lyrical vulnerability and ear for melody.
Elana has released four studio albums of solo material In The Garden of Wild Things (2006), Your Anniversary (2009), Kintsugi (2015) and Married to the Sound (2024).
Elana is also a member of the award-winning folk and alt country act 'All Our Exes Live In Texas', who have toured the USA, UK and Europe extensively. All Our Exes Live in Texas have opened for The Backstreet Boys (USA), Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats (USA) and Australian icons Midnight Oil.
Elana is an ongoing member of Missy Higgins’ band who just won an ARIA for Best Live Act for 2024. Elana has also toured the world as a singer/pianist/accordion player/percussionist with the John Butler trio as well as opening for John Butler across Europe in 2022.
She has recorded, performed and toured alongside Hermitude, Meg Washington, Kate Miller Heidke, Josh Pyke, Jackson Jackson, Ngaiire, Passenger, Donny Benet, Bluejuice, and Melbourne comedy group Tripod to name a few.
Elana's new songs venture into a wide range of themes such as finding love, motherhood against the backdrop of a worldwide pandemic, climate change, social/political polarisation, friendship, love, loss and lockdown - all served on a crispy bed of synth pop, hazy guitar and to-die-for vocal harmonies with a side of 70’s drums and in your face, fuzz bass.
