Rooted in deep listening, lived experience, and respect for craft, Elana's music is built around honesty, connection, and emotional courage.

"Night @ The Rivoli - Elana Harte was wonderful. Those of us who could stay got a solid offering of powerful, lived-in blues with a folk/rock framework delivered in a voice that was part deep-throated purr and part rebel howl. Solid guitar work gave her just the right punching foundation to let her stand up and show us the full range, the depth and breadth of her spirit. Yes."

“Croisez Melissa Etheridge avec Annie di Franco et vous obtenez le style et la voix d'Elana Harte. Pop-folk-rock. Ce deuxième compact de la Montréalaise fait preuve d'une nette progression par rapport à Like Water, son premier; il surprend et plaît vachement, ce Split. Tant Marc Pérusse que John McGale, aux guitares, sont totalement imprégnés par les humeurs de la muse et exultent littéralement. Avec également Marc Lessard, Grégoire Morency et Ray Bonneville, Split, capté au Divan Vert, démontre l'urgence et la hargne de cette auteure douée.
