Texas Comes to the D'Note

It might take a moment or two to take to Elana Rogers. But you will and when you do, you'll be hooked.

The first time I caught her act, I wasn't planning on "working". I was out to catch another band that we have already reviewed, relax and just enjoy the show.

Elana was onstage. I joined my party and placed my cameras on the table where I planned to leave them for the night. I couldn't tell you exactly what it was, but something signaled me that this was a true artist on the stage. It was time to forget my conversation and devote

my attention to the show. Before long I was bellied up to the stage with my cameras trying to capture the essence of this performer on film.

It was her last song. So I decided to catch her act again tonight at the D' Note. Here's the scoop. When on that stage a beauty radiates from Elana that transcends the physical realm. There's joy, passion, and a sense you are one with Elana. And there is talent. Plenty of it.

Elana's music has been called "Country-Tinged Rock", or "Americana-Rock." Neither is quite correct. The style is Elana... with a goodly helping of her Texas roots. It's talented songwriting, delivered with smoky passionate vocals. It's Elana sharing her soul.

Elana isn't for everyone. Those who are conditioned to like only "the sound" that the mainstream radio stations happen to be currently pushing won't care much for her shows. But if you appreciate the free expression of real musical talent, mark your calander to catch Elana's next show at the Oriental Theatre on Feb 3rd.
