Laura Elliott

Biography

Laura Elliott is a rising indie singer-songwriter from New York's Hudson Valley whose folk-influenced guitar work and soulful vocals turn intimate, introspective writing into something communal. Her songs move through love, loss, and melancholy, and the strength of spirit that emerges from working through hard times — a diaristic honesty that draws comparisons to Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver. Her debut album, People Pleaser, has been described as a journey through the relationships we have with others and with ourselves, alongside her EP project Car Sick. Her collaborations include a feature on Lizzy McAlpine's Give Me A Minute, work with Scary Pockets, and with Cisco Swank — she also appears on More Better. Across her solo material and collaborations, Elliott keeps the focus on songwriting, guitar, and voice. Her Hudson Valley roots and folk influences sit alongside the soulful qualities of her singing, connecting personal stories to a wider listening community. That combination of introspection and collaboration runs through the work described here, from People Pleaser to her appearances alongside other artists.
