Wexford-born, Dublin-based songwriter Elishka Lane blends indie folk with warm lyricism and sharp, introspective storytelling. Inspired by artists like Big Thief, Haley Heynderickx and Johnny Flynn, she has built a growing reputation for intimate live performances across Dublin venues including Little Whelan's, Bello Bar and Marrowbone Books. She has sold out headline shows at Little Whelan’s and recently co-headlined Whelan's Upstairs. Her debut single Home Again was praised by Hot Press as “a delicate and gently melancholic guitar ballad,” introducing listeners to her reflective songwriting style.
Elishka plays The Cobblestone on April 12 celebrating her new single Personal Best, with support from fellow singer-songwriters Greg Tisdall and Matilda Rowe.
