Elena Loper is an alt-folk singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Seattle, WA. Loper’s music combines her soaring vocals with her intricate guitar picking and introspective writing.
Cozy up to the warm fingerpicking and beautifully woven melodies of Loper’s new single “Blue Canyon”. Loper shows the restraint of an old pro, changing her vocal inflections at just the right times to let the steady guitar picking and winding melody drive you slowly through the heyday of Laurel Canyon.
“Blue Canyon” is my attempt to capture, in song, a magical afternoon: I was driving through the hills of the California Coast during the ‘golden hour,’ while on a summertime tour with my Dravus House bandmate. I was nostalgic for this day before it even ended, and set out to write a song about it.”
