Elena Loper is an alt-folk singer-songwriter from Seattle, WA who combines soaring vocals with 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. folk groups such as Solas and Altan, along with 90s and 2000s alternative rock such as The Innocence Mission and Gillian Welch. The mood she creates with her melodies, acoustic fingerpicking, and lyric stylings is reminiscent of Alexi Murdoch, The Weepies, and Anias Mitchell. ...
