Elkie Kershaw

Elkie Kershaw writes and plays indie rock, and the songs pull two ways at once: bright, quirky energy on top, melancholy lyrics underneath. The subject is the ups and downs of growing up, and the lyrics are sincere enough that plenty of listeners will hear their own story in them. It's original music rather than a covers set, so book it where people have come to hear someone's own songs, like a band night or a friends' get-together. Elkie is based in Melbourne.
