Lose a little
Rodeo
The first thing that hits you about singer-songwriter Elaina Kay is her confidence and spunk as a performer and a writer. Her wisdom doesn’t yet come from decades of being on the road, but an old soul vibe has infused itself into her music anyway. Her sound confidently bridges the Oklahoma songwriter tradition and Texas troubadour history of her home state but is also infused with her love for Rock and Roll. Much like her hometown of Wichita Falls, her music walks the borderline between both influences and creates an exciting new sound. Elaina Kay grew up where Red Dirt music originated in Texoma, where her family ranched, farmed, and trained horses for a living. Her passion for the outdoors and the cowgirl lifestyle came at an early age, but her true calling came in her family’s garage. Her older brother played in bands as a teenager, covering everything from The Rolling Stones and The Beatles to Pearl Jam and George Strait. Elaina was the blonde-headed little girl singing along word for word. In high school she joined the choir, and soon started writing songs and picking the guitar with some of her Agriculture class buddies. “I think I've always written in some form or fashion, it was my escape,” she recalls. While in college at Tarleton State in Stephenville, Texas, she realized music was where she belonged. Songs started pouring out between her classes and weekends competing on the Tarleton Rodeo Team. She found a new well of inspiration in “The Cowboy Capital of the World,” realizing that drinking beer with cowboys could get you in some bad situations and leave you with a lot of heartache. Elaina graduated from playing tailgates to playing bars in her area and opening for some of the most popular bands in Texas music. It wasn’t long after she started performing that she put out her first record and hit the road.
