“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.
