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 three studio albums of solo material ‘In The Garden of Wild Things’ (2006), ‘Your Anniversary’ (2009) and ‘Kintsugi’ (2015). 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’ live band, and has 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, Megan Washington, Kate Miller Heidke, Jackson Jackson, Ngaiire, Passenger, Donny Benet, Bluejuice, and Melbourne comedy group Tripod to name a few.

"Elana Stone is the real deal: highly accomplished musician, recording artist, teacher and

positive force for good in the Australian music industry. She will, I’m sure, add real value to any enterprise she turns her attention to - and has my vote on all fronts".

Peter Garrett

"Elana is an invaluable part of the band. She is always professional, wanting to give her all to every performance and rehearsal. In addition to this she just has a great, positive attitude and is always such a delight to be around".

Missy Higgins

"I have endless respect and curiosity in what Elana creates because whatever she does is

interesting ,engaging and of high quality and anything she’s a part of or collaborates with is always better for her involvement. All in all she’s a good egg with GOLD to share.”
