Simone Elias
Acoustic/Folk/Pop Solo
More Tracy Chapman than Britney Spears, Simones uncommon grace on stage and unruffled air display a sensitive soul emerging into adulthood. Her versatile rich voice, strong guitar technique and thoughtful lyrics bring forth an inherent contradiction as you observe Simone, a humble, demure performer displaying intensity and potency. This Cairns local, now Brisbane based,has absorbed music by osmosis from her familys many international acclaimed house guests including Kristina Olsen, Shane Howard and Cath Mundy & Jay Turner. She's making an impact on the national scene.

| Influences |
Everything I've ever listened to. Every song I've loved, & every song I haven't. With songwriting, I've always found musicians like Ani Difranco, Kristina Olsen & Shane Howard very inspiring & intriguing- the stories they tell and the different perspectives they write from set them apart as songwriters.
