Seattle, WA, USA

Elena Loper is an alt-folk singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Seattle, WA. Her music combines her soaring vocals with her intricate guitar picking and introspective writing. Her unique melodic sensibility is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and a trans-Atlantic modality. Her sound is influenced by Irish and Americana folk music, including Irish ‘trad. revival’ folk groups such as Solas and Altan, along with 90s and 2000s alternative rock such as The Innocence Mission and Gillian Welch. Her music was described by Craig Shelburne of The Bluegrass Situation as being “understated and beautiful”.
