   About Elana Stone Band
Raw, soulful, and uplifting Elana Stone and her band present a powerful combination of skillful musicianship, a commanding stage presense and damn good songwriting. 'I didn't know what to expect from this band, billed, variously, as jazz, experimental and indie. Fact is, it's all of those. And more.'AUSTRALIAN STAGE ONLINE

Having spent her formative years as a singer, Elana centres her song writing on her powerful, flexible voice, which ranges from blazing, Janis Joplin style soul, rock and roll, and Joni Mitchell-esque piano balladry.

As a jazz singer, Elana received high accolades. She was named Best Jazz Artist at the Musicoz awards in 2004, she won the prestigious National Jazz Award competition in Wangaratta and was a semi finalist in the Montreux Jazz Vocal Competition in Switzerland in 2005.

With her own original project Elana and her band have toured Europe and appeared at festivals around Australia including the Perth International Arts Festival, Sydney Festival, Melbourne International and Fringe Festivals. They have supported such artists as Holly Throsby, Jackson Jackson, Bluejuice and Kate Miller-Heidke. Elana has also toured as a guest vocalist with The Cat Empire and has been a permanent member of Melbourne based dance act Jackson Jackson since it formed in 2007.

Last year (2008) Elana was headhunted by Australian Rock icon Deborah Conway to be included in the line up of 'Broad' the acclaimed all female singer-songwriter extravaganza. Broad has seen the likes of Sally Seltmann, Katie Noonan, Clare Bowditch, Kate Miller Heidke and Jade McRae in its ranks.

Elana currently has two songs on high rotation on Triple J. The first, 'Slippery Slidey' is the single from a soon to be released Elana Stone album - and the second is a tune written with Blue Mountains based electronic outfit Hermitude and The Herd's Urthboy called 'Your Call' which was released on the recent Hermitude album 'Threads'.

Elana is currently being featured as a Next Crop artist on the Triple J website and she was recently featured as a guest on SBS's Rockwiz (and won)!

You can buy the new single "Slippery Slidey" here now for only AU$10 + P&H.

Death of an Angel in Iran

You have surely heard about the tragic death of a
brave young woman who was murdered in Iran
just for peacefully protesting with her father
on the streets of Teheran.

Her Name was Neda - please remember her.

This is a goddamn I missed your Beach Hotel gig a few weeks ago because I wasn't in the area, doh - message. But I'm sure it was killer. Maybe I gotta hang out for some recorded music :). Keep the tonsils healthy!

Thanks very much for the friendship.

I’ve posted a couple of videos on my page. Check them out if you feel like it. You might (probably will) enjoy them.

I’d also like to invite you to have a listen to my music.

Listeners have said:

*Your music is quite fantastic! It has heart/soul/atmosphere - and I really dig it!

*Your music . is . exquisitely . beautiful

* I saw you on Eric Clapton's page. That's too cool. You are very talented and I can see why he put you there.

* Quitting your day job did wonders for the music world. Thanks man - great work!
