“Sad Americana-Country anthems about your crappy ex-boyfriend”
Elaina Christina is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter developing a reputation as a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter channeling Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Megan Moroney, Jason Isbell and Noah Kahan.
Her latest release - “Friday the 13th” - describes the chaotic aftermath of a relationship she says she should have known was doomed from the start. It is the first song off a new EP to be released in 2026.
With three years under her belt in Nashville, she has achieved:
invitations to some of Nashville’s most prestigious showcases, including The Bluebird Cafe, Whiskey Jam, and BusCall
songwriting recognition from NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) and others
However, her highest praise came recently from a long-time Nashville bartender who told her “I’ve been working here for 10 years and can count on one hand the number of artists I knew would be successful: you are one of them”.
Raised in a Sarcasm-As-A-Second Language family, her musical tastes were shaped by a mix of Contemporary Christian, Blues, Pop Folk, and Country.
Looking ahead, and with ties to many places - Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, Oregon, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Australia - she is excited to continue bringing her unique sound and entertaining - and occasionally tongue-in-cheek - perspective to the world.
